Health Rounds: Carrying Babies In Cloth Treated With Insecticide Reduces Malaria Cases
Dec 17 (Reuters)- Applying an insecticide treatment used for soldiers’ uniforms to the cloths used to carry babies significantly reduced incidence of malaria in the children, researchers found.
The six-month study conducted in regions of Uganda where malaria is endemic included 400 mothers and their babies, ages 6 months to 18 months. Half were randomly assigned to use cotton cloth wraps treated with Sawyer Products’ permethrin, while the others received cloths treated with plain water as a control group. The wraps underwent retreatment every 4 weeks.
