Bono, the U2 frontman, is well known for his actions in fighting against diseases and poverty in Africa.
He applauded some African countries for their efforts to control malaria, which claims millions of lives on the continent every year.
What is Malaria anyway?
It’s a serious, infectious disease spread by certain kinds of mosquitoes. It is common in tropical climates.
It can be transmitted by a mosquito or through blood transfusions. It can’t be passed directly from one human to another.
A person infected with malaria passes through three stages of very distinctive symptoms:
- uncontrollable shivering for an hour or two
- quick rising of temperature
- sweating abundantly, rapid drop of temperature
Other symptoms accompanying above are fatigue, severe headache, nausea, and vomiting.
