For the first time in 20 years, authorities have identified locally acquired malaria cases in the United States.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced last week that four Floridians and one person in Texas are being treated for the mosquito-borne illness. They say that the Texas case is not related to those in Florida.
Malaria is a serious, potentially fatal disease that the CDC says should be treated as a medical emergency. However, it had been considered eliminated from the United States since 1951, thanks to the mosquito repellent known as DDT.
The Excellent Powder U.S. home-spraying operations had commenced just four years earlier, in 1947, when there were 15,000 cases of malaria in the Southeast alone. Only four years later, the disease was almost unheard of. It’s now such a distant memory that people have lost their fear of it and forgotten the danger.
Malaria could be eradicated worldwide by now if not for the global ban of DDT in the 1970s. That came after a vicious, unsubstantiated smear campaign in the 1960s by radical environmentalists. They spread lies about DDT thinning bird eggshells, killing humans, and causing cancer.
Though all allegations against DDT have been proven wrong, the United Nations Environment Program still classifies the pesticide as one of 12 “Persistent Organic Pollutants,” effectively banning it in most countries.
Disastrous Results As a result, hundreds of thousands of people perish each year. CDC estimated 241 million cases worldwide in 2020, and 627,000 deaths. Most of the latter are children in sub-Saharan Africa.
The agency also estimates around 2,000 malaria cases in the U.S. annually, but it credits international travelers who bring it back with them. That is what makes the latest CDC announcement troubling — the cases in Florida and Texas are locally acquired.

I remember reading of malaria outbreaks in the mid 1800s in Fort Verde AZ.
I also have seen advertisements for NW Arkansas from the early 1900s declaring this area to have “NO MALARIA!”
Ah, humor doesn’t translate into print very well. I also take Scripture very seriously.
But, while I don’t know if the tea has worked, we do drink it in the US to prevent our redeveloping malaria. Many docs want to hospitalize malaria patients and do all sorts of unnecessary things to them. We just take our medicine and go on about our business.
I DO KNOW that artemisin pills work against malaria. It is just tough to keep a supply on hand or acquire more when in the states. Hence, we make the tea prophylactically. The hubs and I were required to be vaccinated against the hoax before returning to our work overseas. Immediately after the vax, we drank the tea for about 3 days. Hope it helped.
But, yes, it is VERY bitter. Yech!
They knew when they did this that the victims would be largely black Africans, so they did it gleefully. And it has come to pass.
Hydroxychloroquine has successfully treated malaria for many decades.
Therefore, the FDA and Facebook will call it “ misinformation “.
Absolute agree
I can barely manage my own affairs. I cannot imagine the arrogance in thinking that I have a right (or ability) in managing someone else’s as well
No,I meant polio. .
.
HCQ is a prophylactic for some types of malaria. I’ve taken it as such (and know very well from first-hand experience that all of the HCQ fear porn back in 2020 was intentionally deceptive propaganda from the “public health” tyrants and bureaucrats, Big Pharma, and their corporate media spokespeople.)
I don’t think it’s a treatment for malaria, though.
Bill Gates introduced it back in America.
I’m waiting for outside toilets to start showing up again.
those “cases” could also be infected “illegal aliens our border guards let into the USA while sucking up a federal paycheck and benefits.
South America in places is very similar to Vietnam where I got malaria in 68.
