The rainy season brings a high risk of malaria across Nigeria. Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes that carry the disease.

Here’s how you can protect yourself:

1. Sleep under a mosquito net
- Make sure the net is treated with insecticide

2. Use mosquito repellents
- Apply repellent to exposed skin every night

3. Eliminate standing water
- Clear gutters, old tires, buckets, and containers that collect rainwater

4. Seek early treatment
- Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, vomiting, and body pain
- Visit the nearest health center if you feel unwell

Who is most at risk?
- Children under 5
- Pregnant women
- Elderly people
- People with weak immune systems
