Malaria is one of the most common yet serious ailments, especially during the monsoon season, and it has become a reason for many hospital visits this year. It is caused by a bite of an Anopheles mosquito that infects you with parasites that can easily travel through the bloodstream disrupting the functions of various organs in the body. These parasites, once they enter the bloodstream, can spread the infection to the red blood cells and multiply within 48 to 72 hours. The condition can be treated, but it needs to be diagnosed as early as morning because malaria strikes your immunity.
