Assessing ABO/Rh Blood Group Frequency and

Reflection:

Malaria infection continues to be the biggest health threat to travellers going to malaria endemic countries. Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice because of the loss of red blood cells. If not promptly treated, the infection can become severe and may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death. According to the article. Group O has the highest rate associated with malaria. With that, as if we can change our group ABO just to avoid malaria so all we can afford to do is to have protection from mosquitoes like apply insect repellent to exposed skin, wear long-sleeved clothing and long pants if you are outdoors at night, use a mosquito net over the bed if your bedroom is not air-conditioned or screened. And spray an insecticide or repellent on clothing, as mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing.
