It's a fight we must win

I haven't posted on this blog for a while. In that time my husband has had malaria and yours truly has also succumbed to this menace. In addition to hard earned money spent on drugs, we have lost valuable man hours forever.
Sometimes it seems like the fight against malaria is a losing one;but I know that is not true. It is a fight we must win because we can and should win. Malaria is preventable and treatable and as such it should be possible to handle it. The one thing we must not lose sight of is that, this disease has been effectively curbed in some nations.....statistics later. If it has been done before, it can be done again and again.
On a personal note, this week I am trying out a new insecticide I brought back from my trip to Abuja last week. If it works, I will let you know next week.
Till we meet again, stay malaria free
