6 tips to safeguard yourself from malaria:
1)- Use of mosquito net over beds at night. Use an Insecticide net, which is a specially medicated preventive barrier that has been treated with chemicals to kill mosquitoes. It does not have any ill effects on humans. It has to be in a good condition with no holes and should be properly tucked in to be effective.
2)- Spraying the room often with an insecticide before sleeping.
3)- Wearing loose-fitting tops with long sleeves, trousers and socks when out at dusk or at night. Light colour clothing is better because the mosquitoes are attracted to darker areas.
4)- Apply a reliable insect repellent containing diethyltoluamide (DEET) to skin and clothes. Local pharmacy can advise on a good one. If you are using sunscreen, it should be applied first and the insect repellent second. The repellent will not work if you cover it with a thick layer of sunscreen. Alternatively, use a sunscreen that contains a repellent.
5)- Cover bedroom doors and windows with fine mesh netting. Use air-conditioning or a fan in the room, as mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures.
6)- Mosquitoes thrive very well in humid, hot corners. This means an environment with constantly wet grass, stagnated water in cans (rubbish), puddles and stagnant water, etc will provide fertile grounds for mosquitoes to breed and multiply. Keep doors and windows clear of things that mosquitoes can hide in. This will prevent them from breeding.
