Hello Hospital? Yes, my friend is really sick and it seems serious.
OH NO!
During a long trip down to Sub-Saharan Africa,I began to have aches and chills. I ignored it because I didn't think anything of it.Soon later I started to have nausea and headaches. I didn't feel good, I knew something was wrong.

Is it easy to cure?
Yes!
I´m sorry, you have Malaria, but it is common around here. A parasite bit you like the one on the screen.
The doctor diagnosed me with Malaria, a disease which was common where we were. I must have been bitten by a mosquito carrying a parasite, then the parasite bit me and transferred the disease.

How could I prevent it?
You should also use bug spray and screens in your home to prevent it. Stay home and get rest.
To get better you should take these anti-malarial pills.
I was lucky because sometimes, victims have seizures or lose consciousness. He told me that I should stay away from people, because this was contagious and infectious.

Blood transfusions means giving your blood to others who need it.
Depending on the type of parasite, the victim could be an outpatient in the hospital for a few days. I might need help breathing and blood transfusions.

Sharing Needles
Blood donations
It can spread by the parasites biting people and passing it on with sharing needles, blood donations and transfusions.
I know you are all better, but how can you spread it?
If it is diagnosed early and treated, it can be cured in 2 weeks. If not, it can be deadly especially in young children and the elderly.
