So I came across this video today from South Africa. I honestly don't know much about the science behind this and it seems the people working on it
kind of stumbled across some stuff they still need to figure out. If they can eliminate Malaria for good, it would be an amazing achievement and save
so many lives!
Cancer drugs just happen to kill the malaria parasite. I mean how crazy. The video doesn't tell us why they even tested it on malaria but I would like
to know.
Yeah, it's totally crazy! I always find it interesting when a group of people are working on a drug to solve Problem X and then somehow realize
they've solved Problem Y without even trying to.
I too would like to know why they tested a Cancer drug on Malaria. Whether they testing to see if they could use the mosquitoes as a delivery system?
In the video she talks about how it doesn't treat Malaria, it prevents it. I wonder how it differs from current Malaria preventative drugs. Also,
cancer drugs are toxic aren't they?
