10 Facts You Did Not Know About Malaria- Nigeria Centenary by Wisdytech(m): 1:08pm On Jul 03, 2014 |
10 FACTS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT MALARIA : 1 ) Half of the world’s population is at risk of contracting malaria. 2 ) In 2012 alone, there were approximately 207 million cases of malaria reported, causing an estimated 627,000 malaria-related deaths. 3 ) 90% of malaria-related deaths occur in Africa. Malaria kills more children in Africa than any other disease, resulting in one death every minute. 4 ) Pregnant women and their newborns are particularly vulnerable to malaria. In Africa, there are up to 200,000 newborn deaths each year as a result of malaria in pregnancy. 5 ) Malaria is spread through bites from infected mosquitoes. The infected mosquitoes thrive in moist temperatures and breed in water. 6 ) Symptoms of malaria appear 10-15 days after someone has been bit by an infected mosquito. 7 ) Human immunity developed over years of exposure can prevent malaria. For this reason, most malaria deaths occur in children who have low immunity. 8 ) Without access to medication, the impact of the infection can include: coma, brain damage, loss of muscle function and death. 9 ) Long-lasting anti-malaria bed nets are the most effective and inexpensive way to prevent the transmission of malaria. 10 ) One bed net can protect 2 people for up to 3 years. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=251593471631115&id=160172984106498&refid=17 https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=669649183127737&id=206670959425564&refid=28&_ft_=qid.6031801610768236517%3Amf_story_key.5965837453798587439&__tn__=%2As 1 Like |
