Scream! Hide! Malaria is on it's way!

   Malaria and Africa. Two words that apparently go together. Africa is becoming so overwhelmed with malaria that out of all malaria deaths, 90% of them happen in Africa. This parasite is quite annoying isn't it? Easily passed from mosquito to human. As you can see, Africa is very concerned about how many deaths are caused by malaria and are trying to make people aware about how to protect yourself. Within this craze, the U.S. comes in and makes a series of cartoons warning everyone about malaria and how to protect themselves. These cartoons are called Annie Anopheles. Next, due to Annie Anopheles, Africa's deaths are lessening bit by bit and people were taking this more seriously, but still deaths occur and people still die from malaria. What would you do to try and lessen the death rates of malaria?

    I would fundraise to raise money for vaccines, but since malaria is such a complex parasite, there's not a vaccine for it! Since there's no vaccine, people can use anti-mosquito measures, or take a drug to prevent it, but most people probably don't have access to those things. If people get malaria, there's no way to cure it, so I think they should try to be more careful about their safety measures to prevent it,
