Solution

The best prevention of malaria, especially in a region like Nigeria where the disease is prevalent, is the use of insect repellent containing DEET and wearing long-sleeved clothing. This is because malaria is primarily transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito. Therefore, preventing mosquito bites is the most effective way to prevent malaria. Other measures like cooking meat thoroughly, drinking bottled water, and washing hands frequently are important for general health and prevention of other diseases, but they do not directly prevent malaria.
