Don’t take malaria lightly, it is one nasty infectious disease. I know, I have had Babesiosis from a tick bite, which is the closest thing on this planet to malaria. Having an insect deposit a parasite into your blood stream that multiplies exponentially and destroys your red blood cells is not fun. Those red blood cells come in handy as they carry oxygen throughout your body to places like your brain, heart, liver and other vital organs and muscles. Having the disease is agony beyond description, it’s like slowly drowning on land over the course of several days. Be careful out there friends.
