Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Cause #6: Malaria
Malaria is a disease that is carried by mosquitoes. It can affect humans and other animals and is one of the most notorious diseases for travelers. Symptoms of malaria don’t often manifest until more than a week after the person has been bitten by the infected mosquito, and if the disease isn’t given the proper treatment, people may see a relapse of symptoms.
Malaria can cause a number of symptoms that are similar to those of the common flu but often more pervasive and intense. Among these include lethargy, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and high fevers.
