What is Malaria?
Malaria is a serious disease caused by small parasites which spread to people by the bites of infected mosquitos. An infected mosquito bites and infuses these parasites into your bloodstream. It's not caused by a virus or bacteria but parasites which multiply inside your body, particularly in your red blood cells. Malaria causes fever, chills and other flu-like symptoms. In case not treated timely, it could result in brain damage, breathing issues and even death.
Malaria is mostly present in tropical and subtropical locations where mosquitoes thrive; the vast majority of cases are in South Asia and Africa. It's especially dangerous for young children, pregnant women and unprotected travellers. The prevention of Malaria focuses on avoiding mosquito bites through nets and insect repellents as well as preventive medications when travelling to areas where Malaria is common.
The good news is that Malaria can be treated with Ayurvedic medicine and preventive approaches could lower the risk of this deadly disease considerably. If you notice any symptoms of Malaria, get immediate medical help for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Common Causes of Malaria
Malaria is spread by the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes carrying Malaria parasites. These mosquitoes are active between dusk and dawn. Understanding the process of transmission helps in preventing and controlling the disease.
The common causes of Malaria are listed below:
Bites of Infected Mosquitoes: The most common cause of Malaria is the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. It transmits Malaria parasites into the blood when it bites a person.
Mother to Child: A woman who is pregnant could spread the disease to her unborn child, leading to severe health issues in the child. This is called congenital Malaria.
Transfusion of Blood: In case the donated blood has Malaria parasites, individuals might contract Malaria from a blood transfusion, though this is extremely rare.
Organ Transplants: Like blood transfusions, receiving an organ from a donor who had Malaria could spread the parasites.
Shared Needles/Syringes: Using needles or syringes that an infected person used can also spread Malaria (though it is rare).
Signs and Symptoms of Malaria
Malaria symptoms can be quite severe and generally resemble flu. These signs should be recognised early for appropriate treatment. From the first mosquito bite to onset of symptoms, it could take between 10 days to 4 weeks.
The key signs and symptoms of Malaria to look for are:
Symptoms
Fever
High fever is among the most common Malaria signs. It may come in waves and accompany cold shivers and sweating.
Chills
Another common symptom of Malaria is intense chills that can be moderate to severe. These chills can shake the body and make you feel cold.
Headache & Muscle Aches
Many Malaria patients report severe headaches and body aches due to the condition.
Fatigue
A general feeling of weakness and fatigue is common as the energy created by the body fights off the Malaria infection.
Nausea & Vomiting
These signs are also often present and can make it difficult to get enough fluids and medication to recover.
Diarrhoea
Some people may also have diarrhoea (although this is less common).
Chest Pain & Breathing Problems
The infection could spread to the lungs and result in chest pain and trouble breathing.
Jaundice
Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, indicating that Malaria has affected the liver.
Anaemia
Anaemia is a frequent complication because Malaria parasites destroy red blood cells.
