It is mostly seen in hot and humid climates with the highest number of cases reported in Africa and South Asia. Unlike many other infections caused by viruses or bacteria, malaria is caused by a parasite. When an infected mosquito bites a person, it passes the parasite into the bloodstream. Malaria requires timely medical intervention. If not properly managed, it can lead to serious complications, such as seizures, breathing difficulties, organ failure, and even death<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK551711\/%22%20\/t%20%22_new\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some herbs and home remedies may help ease malaria symptoms; however, these should not be used as a substitute for proper medical care.
