Are they going to start calling immigration “international travel” now?

I caught that too.

Sounds like a good reason to use mRNA vaccines /sarc

"Bring back DDT (seriously...)"

"They" should have done that when the Formosan termite was first discovered in the US.

They do this for lice. I doubt it would ever work for mosquitoes.

Illegals spreading diseases.

No mystery

If only there was a sage, cheap drug with years of use...

Here’s a list of places to buy that “cheap drug with years of use” (no Rx required):

There’s a link to another list, with all the use/dosing protocols, at the top of the landing page.

FTA: Federal health officials warn there could be a rise in imported malaria cases this summer linked to increased international travel and the need for rapid access to IV artesunate, the first-line treatment for severe malaria in the country.

~~~~

Writer does sloppy work. This sentence says that the potential rise in malaria is linked to both international travel and to the need for malaria treatment.

Very poorly written article. The point of the Sarasota outbreak is “home grown” as opposed to brought home following international travel.

—”Are we going to need malaria drugs to visit Sarasota?”

Not to worry!

The same anti-malaria drug we took in RVN has been shown to suppress covid!

BOGO!

Infectious Disease Ping – Malaria now being found in the USA, Five (5) known cases, locally acquired (Florida, Texas)
There was a reason why Ellis Island existed to protect the American public
(from Disease, political dissidents, terrorists, organized, and criminal elements)

NautiNurse :" While CDC Director Walensky resigns June 30, and the freak Assistant Secretary for Health is giddily celebrating "Pride Summer,"
we are greeted with resurgence of a third world disease.

"Health officials have recently detected five malaria cases in the United States,
marking the first locally acquired mosquito-borne malaria to be diagnosed in the country in two decades."
The handful of cases has prompted the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a warning to health officials and the public about the disease."

"Federal health officials warn there could be a rise in imported malaria cases this summer linked to increased international travel
and the need for rapid access to IV artesunate, the first-line treatment for severe malaria in the country."

"Four of the locally acquired cases of the potentially fatal disease were detected in Sarasota County, Fla.
The Florida Department of Health announced the cases in a statement Monday.
The fifth case was detected in Cameron County, Texas, its health department said." (article continues)

Yes, that is correct. Hubby came back from Peru with malaria (left his hydroxy at home). We know how to prevent malaria...what are the chances of cdc recommending prophylaxis for said outbreak? They’d rather let people suffer than admit it is perfectly safe to take, contradicting their prior stance....BUT, they have no problem being hypocrites, so I could be wrong.

Yep, my dad served for 3 years in the S.Pacific during WW2. They doused the island natives with DDT for lice and other parasites.

In NW FL in the ‘60s, dog flies were a problem for beach goers, the bites are pretty painful. Some were convinced the dog flies bred in sea weed that washed up along the bays (they actually bred in nearby farmland).

There was a program to spray the bay seaweed, using motorboats that had a 55 gallon drum of DDT on board . I worked on one of the boats in high school as a summer job. We never used all the DDT in the drum. We’d just leave the sprayer motor running, clamp open the trigger on the hand sprayer, toss it over the side of the boat as we headed back to truck at the end of the day. It would take a half hour, at least, to get back to the truck, by which time the left over DDT had been pumped into the bay. The older guys who were in charge said it looked better if we used all the DDT, so we always came back with an empty drum.

Hey, I've got a good idea...

Let's put the malaria patients in ICUs and pump them with Remdesivir. When their renal systems fail we put them on ventilators and the government pays us half a million dollars when they are dead. This will take care of the problem and also solve our hospital financial crisis.

We kill two birds with one stone.

I remember reading, that in the late 1800s there was malaria as far north as Camp Verde in central AZ.

In SE Asia, in the 1969 we were encouraged to take quinine daily.

The best way to address the situation is personal prevention.

Inspect your property to identify and eliminate stagnant water sources (e.g. bird baths, pet water dishes, buckets, plastic wading pools, old tires). Standing water sources may also be treated with BTI (Mosquito Dunks), a widely available larvicide deemed safe for animals.

Inspect screens for tears. Use insect repellent with either DEET or Picaridin. Wear light colored, loose-fitting clothing.

The Anopheles mosquito carries malaria. Anopheles most actively feed at dusk and night. Unfortunately, Florida is host to about 80 species of mosquitos, several of which carry other nasty diseases including Zika and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus.

All the more reason to drink gin and tonics this summer for the quinine. The gin is also effective for elephant bites…never can be too prepared.
