Malaria and Travelers

The first thing to do is to reduce your chances of getting bitten.  Follow your healthcare provider's advice and purchase the recommended anti-malarial medication, mosquito netting and insect repellent. 

Insect repellents should ideally contain up to 50% DEET and be applied to any exposed skin, always on top of a sun block.  It can also be sprayed onto cotton clothing for added protection.  Keep arms, legs and feet covered and limit outdoor activities when mosquitoes are at their most active, such as between dusk and dawn. 

Sleeping under a mosquito net impregnated with permethrin should provide you with excellent protection. 

People often contract malaria because they start to get complacent during their travels.  If you have been prescribed anti malarial, it is very important take them as directed throughout the whole course. 

Continue bite prevention measures as it only takes one bite to contract malaria.
