If you worry about global warming & malaria reestablishing where you live, please tell your elected representatives to support malaria eradication.
It would reduce your risk a little.
…but if you’re scared, imagine living with malaria all the time. /1

In my latest for @HuffPostLife, I dive into the recent @CDCgov health advisory on locally-acquired malaria cases and amplify precautions to limit infection.
Special thanks to @MHsiangMD, @DokteCoffee, @UCBerkeleySPH's Dr. Swartzberg and @YaleMed's Dr. Capello for their insights.
The mosquito-borne disease has been detected in Florida and Texas for the first time in decades. Here’s how you can limit your risk of infection and what symptoms to look out for. huffpost.com/entry/malaria-c…
