April 25th is World Malaria Day! 🌍🦟 Minnesota ranks among the top 12 states for malaria cases reported each year, all from international travel. Malaria is preventable! ✈️ Traveling to areas where malaria is common? Protect yourself: 

• Talk to your doctor about prevention medication  
• Use insect repellent and wear long sleeves  
• Sleep under mosquito nets when possible 

⚠️ Know the symptoms: 
• Fever and chills 
• Headache, muscle aches, and fatigue 
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea 

Symptoms can take time to appear after travel, so always tell your doctor that you were in a country with malaria. Stay informed, stay protected, and travel safely. 🌞🌿 https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/travel/plan.html #Malaria #TravelSafety #PublicHealth
