I’ll be honest, whenever I see international celebrities backing up a cause to save Africans, I get put off and just deem it another annoying publicity stunt. Ashton Kutcher; MTV’s king of ‘Punk’d’ donated 10,000 mosquito nets in celebration of hitting the one million mark twitter following. Well my attitude did change when I did my homework on the disease and spoke to a UNICEF Health specialist. Happy World Malaria day to you all and keep yourselves safe.

Malaria can take million of lives. So, it is better to fight it and be aware.
For you to know whether you are infected or not, you test yourselves by using elisakit because it can detect many substances inside your body like this contagious disease which is malaria.
The article was good and informative. I also prefer you to test through the ELISA Kit
