After the homework was assigned we watched an interesting video on Malaria. In the video we learned many intriguing things.
*Over one million die of malaria a year
*Malaria is caused by a parasite that invades red blood cells
*Malaria enters the body through mosquito bites
*MANY african children are suffering
*Many Places all over the world used to have malaria until DDT was used to kill mosquitos that spread the disease, it killed much more than just the mosquitos and was banned-Africa was never reached with the chemical so malaria still remains in Africa
It was crazy to think about America at one point suffering from malaria. The video brought up some very interesting factoids about malaria. When the video finished so did class.
