28. Reality vs. Fantasy - TEAM B MALARIA RESEARCH “Locally the disease is not diagnosed, people rely on the symptoms to judge what kind of disease it is. When one is affected by malaria he/she is given an extract from a plant known as ``mwarubaini’ ’scientifically known as the neem plant. The extract is prepared by boiling the leaves until a green extract is obtained. The sick person then takes the extract one cup at a time, three times a day. Again the patient is covered with a heavy cloth to inhale the fumes of the extract. What is contained in the plant that cures malaria no one is aware. What is contained in the plant that cures malaria no one is aware. Severe cases of malaria are not handled within the home but the person is taken to the hospital for diagnosis. This may lead to hospitalization for close examination by the doctors. In this situation mostly the patient is given quinine. Currently in most homes they use the insecticide treated nets which they get from the dispensaries at a small fee. The tablets have some side effects to some users, for example some will have itching all over the body, dizziness and general body weakness. When this happens the doctors either given another dose to neutralize or advise the patient to bear with the situation. At their homes the person is given milk to neutralize the effects. "
