Understanding Malaria Risk
Additional Protection Tips
Antimalarial tablets are just one part of malaria prevention. Follow these additional measures:
Sleep Under a Net
Use an insecticide-treated bed net, especially in rural areas or accommodation without air conditioning or screens.
Use Insect Repellent
Apply DEET-based repellent (at least 50%) to exposed skin, particularly between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
Cover Up
Wear long sleeves and trousers in the evenings. Light-coloured clothing is less attractive to mosquitoes.
Know the Symptoms
Symptoms can appear 7 days to 1 year after exposure. Seek immediate medical attention for flu-like symptoms, fever, or chills after returning from a malaria area.
