What Else Can I Do To Prevent Malaria?

Even though Anti Malaria Tablets provide strong protection against Malaria, it is important to also take other measures to avoid bites from Mosquitoes. There are other options available to help prevent being bitten, these are:

• Mosquito Nets - There are many different mosquito nets available, which can make it difficult to determine which is the best suited for you, Travelpharm recommend nets that are treated with Permethrin or Deltamethrin, which are insecticides which kill mosquitoes instantly on contact by acting on their nervous system. If you have a net that isn't treated then there are netting treatments available. Mosquito nets are ideal for staying protected in the evenings, as this is when Mosquitoes are most active. Ensure the edges of the nets are tucked under the mattress and ensure they are no openings so no biting buts can enter.
• Mosquito & Insect Repellent - When entering risk areas, it is also essential to ensure you apply insect repellents to exposed areas of skin, avoiding eyes and mouth. Repellents can also be applied to clothing, the use of products containing DEET will provide extra protection, ideal for when entering high-risk areas. DEET has been used for over 50 years and is proven to be one of the most effective mosquito repellents. The use of DEET free or 50% of DEET products usually provides enough protection in normal or low-risk areas. Using mosquito killing devices in bedrooms or living rooms is also ideal as this also reduces the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes or other biting insects.
• Other Prevention Methods - Other tips to avoid being bitten are to remember to wear long-sleeved shirts and long trousers, which will reduce the amount of skin available to be bitten. Try and wear lighter clothing, as dark clothes tend to attract mosquitoes. Aftershaves and perfumes will also attract mosquitoes, so going out without this will help reduce the risk of being bitten.
