The hospital on the border of Thailand and Burma is warning that the new strain of malaria has started to show drug-resistant and it takes longer to treat patients.
This new malaria strain was first discovered along the Cambodia –Thailand border and has now moved to the Burma –Thailand border.
Thailand has so far managed to fight the malaria pretty well and only minor outbreaks are reported each year. Normally in the rainy season Thai government officials will come and spray outside the houses and around town. Keep your doors and windows shut at such time and make sure your family pets not wander into the mist.
