Will working in Africa for two years affect your health?

Don't scare yourself ... I've been in Africa for the third year, no problem!

1. About malaria, the mortality rate is high, but who told you it is difficult to cure?

Artemisinin will be sold in places where vaccines are given before going abroad (there is no vaccine for malaria, so you can only take medicine when you are sick). Remember to buy some. One kind is made in Switzerland. I wonder if I can buy it in China. The effect is better than domestic artemisinin.

Strengthen exercise, eat more fruits, pay attention to hygiene and improve your immunity ~

Remember to use mosquito nets when sleeping and bring mosquito repellent toilet water ~

Once the body has symptoms of wind-cold such as soreness and chills (if you have a runny nose, don't worry, it is a real cold), take artemisinin immediately ~

PS: Malaria needs a blood test. If you take medicine, don't check it, because you can't find it after taking it. If you have just returned to China for examination, you should explain to the examining doctor that you have just returned from Africa and ask for malaria examination (unless you tell the doctor, you will not be examined, and this disease is basically gone in China).

2. As I said just now, as long as malaria is not serious enough to die, it is basically medicine ~ no injection ... I suggest that if there are dental diseases and oral diseases, they must be cured before going abroad. It's really unsafe and expensive to come here to treat them ~

Other basic commonly used drugs should be carried with you, and you don't need to go to the hospital ~

In addition, many countries' capitals also have China medical teams ~

3. The problem of ultraviolet rays, which is a natural climate problem, can't be helped. Do you think so? At least there is less pollution in Africa. Isn't the pollution level in China a higher risk of cancer? But even so, you should do a good job of sun protection before going out. Sunglasses are a must. Think about sunscreen and umbrellas yourself (I don't know if you are a man or a woman). In addition, China people drive when they go out here, so they can't get the sun ~ 10:00- 3: 00 pm, try to avoid staying outdoors ~

Finally, to sum up, don't think Africa is so terrible ~ Besides backwardness and poverty, it also has a beautiful side ~ Welcome to my blog ~/iris0629 I don't know which country you are going to, I hope it will help you ~
