Stop Living in de-Nile … malaria has been killing for centuries. It’s time to end malaria.
After years of studying the mummified remains of King Tutankhamun (aka “King Tut”), scientists have determined the cause of his premature death at age 19 – cerebral malaria.
According to a research article soon to be published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, malaria was a contributing factor to the death of this well-known pharaoh. It’s a reminder of just how long malaria has ravaged the world, causing the early deaths of kings and queens, peasants and paupers for thousands of years.
Had bed nets and anti-malarials been available to King Tut, he may still be alive today. Well, he actually would still be dead now. But this story is a reminder of the importance of our time in history. With sufficient attention and focus, we could find ourselves on the cusp of eliminating a disease that has robbed lives for thousands of years.
It is too late for King Tut, but not for the millions of children if we act now.
