Although I am Dutch, I was born in Ghana. My parents worked in a local hospital as doctors. If you can expect anyone to be extremely cautious and in the position to be able to act on it, it would be them. Still got malaria before I turned one.

I lived in Nigeria from the ages of 9-18 and while we did not use mosquito nets, I’d generally assume that even people who use mosquito nets would be likely to get bitten by a carrier mosquito at some other time of day. Hearing of people getting malaria felt like a very commonplace occurrence, and I had it several times.
