Why Malaria Is Bad

Decent Essays
Malaria can end up in many ways. One ways is for absolutely nothing beneficial to happen. This is like what is happening now. Malaria is killing 1 million people a year, and has been around for centuries, yet there is no cure that works on every case of malaria. The only thing good to come from today's technology are anti-malarial tablets, which do not have a benefit to people who have already contracted malaria. Another possibility is that malaria makes a comeback. It could become local to the countries that have gotten rid of it, like the United States, and start to infect thousands of more people yearly. If this were to happen in the next few days, we would have no preparation for it. The demand for anti-malarial tablets would go up, leaving

    26. a. Females would be healthier in an area with malaria because they have two X chromosomes. The genetic mutation for favism is only passed on the X chromosomes, so because females have two, this means that in populations where the mutation is widespread, many females have a red blood supply that is half G6PD deficient and half normal. So, this gives females extra protection against malaria, while they also won’t have a dangerous reaction to fava beans. b. People of Mediterranean descent would be healthiest in comparison to those of African descent.…

His tone implies that cures sometimes are more dangerous than the problems they treat.…
