Several people a year catch malaria in the vicinity of European

Aw, gee. A risk of about 0.0001% per annum, or a lifetime risk
of less than 0.001%, assuming that you live close to a major
international airport.

You youngsters are just wimps. Where and when I was born, there
was something like a 30% per annum chance of catching malaria.
Worry about something real, like tripping over your own feet,
falling down stairs and breaking your neck.

Oh, and by the way, most forms of malaria are not forever; the
recurrent form is relatively uncommon.
