Malaria Problem in Sanya Hainan Island
Malaria is not a problem in Sanya
Hainan Island
Many guests have asked questions
about Malaria in Sanya Hainan Island. I have checked
with local doctors and would like to summery the
following:
Question One: Is Malaria a problem in Sanya Hainan Island?
Answer: Not really. Only 1/5 of the total
area where the altitude is over 1000 Meters is listed by WTO
as the second dangerous place for Malaria.
However, all the popular places visitors go are
lower than 1000 Meters except some tropical
rainforest.
Question two: Do I need to take
special medicine before I visit Sanya Hainan Island?
Answer: Normally, it is not necessary unless you are coming for
special purposes
like hiking in the remote and primitive tropical
rainforest over 1000 Meters, or you will stay a long time
in the very remote countryside.
Question Three: Do I need to make
special arrangement during my stay in Sanya
Hainan Island?
Answer: Malaria infects Human Beijing by
a very special mosquito called anopheles, which lives in the high
mountains They live in the bushes along small
rivers in very high mountains and are very sensitive
to any pesticides. So it is hard for them to live in
the areas where the local people use pesticides, not
to see the urban areas.
Question: Are there special
medicines in Hainan to cure Malaria?
Answer: Yes. Don't worry, the Only Tropical
Disease and Medicine Research Institute is Hainan
Island.
