As of now we have still not discovered a cure to the
horrific disease of malaria but that’s not to say that we haven’t discovered
ways to try and protect ourselves against obtaining it. The main cause of malaria is being bit by a
mosquito infected with parasites. So
scientists say that our main goal should be to protect ourselves from the
mosquitoes. People should attempt to be
aware of the peak exposure times and places as much as possible. This means that they should know what
climate, time of the year and even more specific the time of the day that
mosquitoes are more likely to be out and about.
Also it is advised that you wear protective clothing that covers the
majority of your body. Mosquitoes see
your arms, legs and face and it’s like an alarm goes off in their head and they
attack. That’s why if you have clothes
that cover those areas it will lead to very low possibility that you can obtain
a mosquito bite. Another aid against
mosquitoes is repellent. By using this
repellent you force the mosquitoes away from you as the repellent contains a
chemical that is harmful to mosquitoes.
A way that is being used now in an attempt to combat the mosquito epidemic is using insecticides. The spraying of the insecticides work in a similar way as the repellent. Both of these cause harm to the mosquito but there is one major difference. The insecticide ultimately kills the mosquitoes as soon as them come into contact with the insecticide. This is a huge step forward in defeating the mosquito epidemic as now we are armed with a device that allows us to kill and decrease the mosquito population in a huge way. Another way to fight back against the mosquitoes are by using bed nets. These are nets that you enclose yourself in while you sleep which will guarantee that no mosquitoes will attempt to attack you while you are asleep. The bed nets are very important because it gives us a defense against the mosquitoes even while we are fast asleep. Finally, children have also started vaccines at an early age. By taking these vaccines it injects the chemicals into your body which will fight against the diseases that mosquitoes will give to you if by some chance they do end up biting you. These vaccines are crucial because so far they are the only real defense against the diseases that we have in medicine form. All in all, we have discovered these ways to attempt to and prevent the mosquito bites but we are still working around the clock to discover more full proof ways to end the reign of the mosquito once and for all.
