"A bednet provides a physical barrier to mosquitoes. It reduces the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes. A bednet is a simple way to prevent malaria infection. Bednets are coated with insecticide so they not only keep out mosquitoes, but mosquitoes are killed on contact. Insecticide-treated mosquito bednets have been proven to cut the death rate of malaria up to 50%. 1 net costs $10."
