Malaria symptoms can appear 10 to 15 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. These symptoms often feel like a bad flu and include:

• High fever and chills
• Headaches
• Sweating and fatigue
• Muscle aches and joint pain
• Nausea and vomiting

In severe cases, malaria can cause organ failure, seizures, or even coma. If you suspect malaria, seek medical help immediately.

Causes

The main cause of malaria is the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito, which transmits the Plasmodium parasite. The most dangerous type is Plasmodium falciparum, which can cause severe symptoms and complications. Malaria thrives in warm, humid climates and affects more people during rainy seasons when mosquitoes breed.
