If you worry about global warming & malaria reestablishing where you live, please tell your elected representatives to support malaria eradication.

It would reduce your risk a little.

…but if you’re scared, imagine living with malaria all the time. /1

In my latest for @HuffPostLife, I dive into the recent @CDCgov health advisory on locally-acquired malaria cases and amplify precautions to limit infection.

Special thanks to @MHsiangMD, @DokteCoffee, @UCBerkeleySPH's Dr. Swartzberg and @YaleMed's Dr. Capello for their insights.
