State two ways to avoid contracting malaria
1. Use mosquito repellent: One way to avoid contracting malaria is by using mosquito repellent, particularly one that contains active ingredients like DEET or picaridin. Applying mosquito repellent to exposed skin and clothing can help deter mosquitoes from biting and transmitting the malaria parasite.
2. Sleep under a mosquito net: Sleeping under a mosquito net, especially one treated with insecticide, can provide protection from malaria-infected mosquitoes. By creating a physical barrier between yourself and the mosquitoes, sleeping under a mosquito net reduces the risk of being bitten while you sleep and contracting the disease.
