hey it's me Destin welcome back to smarter every day I was asked by Bill

程度の副詞

and Melinda Gates yes really if I wanted to collaborate with them and make a

video about global health issues now here's the deal when you think about

let's make a video about global health issues you think about statistics and

numbers and like money or you think about your sister who served in the

Peace Corps in sub-saharan Africa where over 90% of all malaria cases happened

where she got malaria so today on smarter every day I want to just rewind

the clock and go take you on the trip that I went on to go visit her in

sub-saharan Africa and then we'll just ask her what was like to get malaria

sounds like fun video let's do it all right story time several years ago my

friend Steve oh and my sister Regan were both stationed with the Peace Corps in

West Africa I decided to go visit them and check up and see what their efforts

were like I flew to Dakar Senegal where steve-o met me and we traveled to the

Gambia via set glass which is a word that means a car with seven feet since

we were all crammed in there and it was really cool going across the desert like

that but we traveled all the way to a city called Farah finian Magan BIA where

Stevo was stationed as a Peace Corps volunteer and computer scientist he was

working at a local organization to try to help them figure out computerized

records keeping and eating simple stuff by having it printers to work I of

course wanted to contribute by teaching math and science so I managed to get

some model rockets into the country Sestito and I could have a local I don't

know rocket workshop you could call it with the kids they were super excited

and everything worked out perfect anyway wasp a mosquito at his hood every night

I slept in a hammock under a mosquito net this was there to prevent me from

getting malaria just on the other side of the read fence for me was steve-o

Costra and Moses he's a hilarious guy and we loved to drink tea with each

other and play Scrabble we had a lot of fun together but one day steve-o agreed

to take me to see what modu did for a day job he worked at a local health

clinic where I got to see the front lines of what the battle against malaria

looks like these guys had Mike scopes that were just like mine at my

house but they were set up in this really small room where sanitation was a

challenge because they have limited supplies but anyway they were doing the

best they could with what they had they were standing to blood and then looking

at it under the microscope to try to see what blood cells had malaria in it I

didn't have a very good camera at the time so I came home bought these human

pathogen slides and then we are sitting here using the same type microscope

looking at malaria and what does it look like malaria yes it looks like at him

like so when you look at a blood smear you see a ton of red blood cells

well malaria looks like an enlarged red blood cell with a darkened stain so when

the malaria gets inside of the red blood cell you believe your is recite it can

sometimes look like a white blood cell because it's an enlarged doughnut that

has thoughts and it's dark in the spot so the tent works it gets bigger and

then eventually blows the red blood cell up from the inside out how is that okay

I'll be honest I had to research how malaria works is like this malaria is

caused by a parasite that lives inside the mosquitoes who previously taken a

blood meal from another human we know that part right this is the part I

didn't know when the mosquito bites the next person they released this parasite

called the spores sites into the humans bloodstream which then makes its way to

the person's liver cells the incubation period in the liver cells anywhere

between seven and thirty days and at that time it starts to consume those

cells and transform into the next phase called the Marisa whites where it will

multiply until the liver cells explode once they explode it makes its way to

the other red blood cells and then starts to repeat the process by

multiplying until those red blood cells explode and then pretty much the whole

immune system is out of whack you've got fever chills headaches nausea

vomiting body aches it's bad severe cases of malaria can cause a coma

seizures kidney failures or even death it's a really big deal

so obviously modos efforts in this clinic we're super important if you can

diagnose malaria quickly you can treat it after finishing our visit and fair

finding we traveled via set PLAs back and jeweled the capital of the Gambia

where we caught a flight down to Freetown Sierra Leone which is the

capital city my sister Regan Medus there and then we

travelled overland via taxi to her village which was called mono my sister

taught at a secondary school so Stevo and I jumped in and helped where we

could teaching math to the students playtime at the village was really fun I

got to play with the kids and show them all these different types of flying toys

that I've brought with me but one day the locals decided to come take me and

steve-o to a local swimming hole there were ladies that were mining for gold

there we learned how to fish with net but I noticed something in the water

it's pretty neat it's a bunch of rocks all around and on that far side there's

some Rapids but when the water goes down during the dry season you have these

individual puddles that form this one appears to have some larvae in it and

some kind of animal in each each one have no idea what is there like worms in

the back of my mind I thought these might be mosquito eggs but I didn't

really know I came home and researched and found this video from the 1940s

which shows that mosquitoes lay eggs in these little bitty rafts the eggs then

hatch and later become larvae which then turn into pupae after a couple of days

when it's fully developed it takes in air and then swells and splits the

pupils skin and ejects itself it's really kind of freaky actually the males

are typically vegetarians while the females seek out blood and drink it

whenever they can get it anyway apparently a female mosquito got ahold

of my sister because at some point during her time in Africa she got

malaria my sister likes to travel we're taking her to the airport right now

she's going to Colombia but when you were in Sierra Leone you got malaria

right what was it like in Highbury basically had a fever they

don't remember having a fever ever for that moment but to wedding I had to take

a blood drop dead enemies malaria and ahem positive and Angelica camel City

and I'm basically every day okay if you watch the news you're going to hear that

everything's getting worse right it's not the world is getting better and

there's reasons to be optimistic malaria research is one of those things over the

last fifteen years the amount of money poured into malaria research has gone up

tenfold resulting in a 60 percent decrease in mortality due to malaria my

sister being one of those hundreds of thousands of people that didn't die that

would have died 15 years ago that's a really big deal of course the goal is

zero deaths due to malaria but hey we're on the right track

we need to be optimistic not just for malaria but in general a hundred and

twenty-two million children have been saved by these efforts since the 90s if

you look at the data collected by the Institute of Health metrics and

evaluation childhood mortality rate across the board has decreased from 12.1

million deaths in 1990 all the way down to 5.8 in 2015 that's huge I told you
