MALARIA IN TANZANIA
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by malaria parasites that enter the body during a mosquito bite. Symptoms: chills, followed by fever. Usually preceded by a flu-like feeling. You cannot vaccinate against malaria. However, the use of malaria tablets is recommended during your trip through Tanzania. For advice on proper preventive measures and anti-malarial drugs you can also contact the tropical department of the GGD. To protect yourself from mosquito bites, we recommend bringing anti-mosquito spray with a high percentage of DEET when traveling to Tanzania and covering your body properly in the evening. DEET is not for sale in Tanzania, so make sure you already buy it in the Netherlands.
