Question

We should not allow water to collect in
one place
around us for
long time to prevent malaria
​

Answer 1

Yes, water should be prevented to collect in order to avoid malaria.

Explanation:

• We should not allow water to collect in a place around us because the mosquitoes release their eggs in water.

• The mosquitoes causing malaria breed in water that is stagnant and hence any water collection should be avoided to prevent malaria.

• The eggs hatch into larvae as early as after 24 hours of being released into or near water.

• Hence, standing water should be disposed of regularly.
