Alright, so let's talk about malaria. Malaria is a sickness that you can get from a tiny bug called a mosquito.

So, you know how when you're outside playing and you see a mosquito biting you? Well, sometimes, if that mosquito has something called the malaria parasite in it, it can make you really sick.

The word "malaria" is used to describe the illness that the parasite can cause. It can make you feel really weak, have a high fever, and even give you chills. It's like your body is having a really tough time fighting off an intruder, and that's why you feel so bad.

Malaria can be really serious, but the good news is that there are ways to prevent it and treat it, so that people can get better. One way to prevent it is by using mosquito repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and sleeping under mosquito nets when going to bed.

It's really important to protect yourself from getting malaria if you live in or travel to places where the mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite live. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry! I hope that helps you understand what "malaria" means. Let me know if you have any more questions!
