Malaria mosqiuitos are fortunately absent from Ponto Do Ouro but anti-malaria medication is still recommended.

Malaria avoidance tips -

• Stay indoors between sunset and sunrise if at all possible. This is when the female anopheles mosquito which carries the virus is prevalent.
• Wear thin, baggy long-sleeve tops and pants if you must be out at night.
• Use Mosi repellanet like Tabard or Peaceful Sleep.
• A mosquito net.
• Keep doors and windows closed at night.
