Malaria
The main symptom for malaria is a regular occurring fever. Other symptoms include headaches, vomiting, shivers, sweating and exhaustion. If it's not treated properly, malaria can become life-threatening because it will disrupt the blood supply to vital organs such as the brain or kidneys. Symptoms usually develop 10 days to four weeks after being infected by a mosquito. In parts of the world where malaria is common, the parasites have developed resistance to many medicines for malaria.
