whats your plan for reducing malaria transmission in ancient egyp

just reduce the amount of standing water and try and implement widespread use of bednets. people in ancient times WERE very good at weaving and making fine cloth so i would try to use that to my advantage.

#cant do anything about the nile itself but we can at least take basic public health measures and apply them #would the state distribute or provide said bednets to like laborers? WHO knows. probably not. but i would try my best #anti-malarials are extremely difficult to obtain bc your only non-organic chemistry generated choices are quinine and artemisinin #in plant form. i think quinine is south american and artemisinin is from china so thats a longer term goal #so youd just want to reduce transmission #even if you could get smth like artemisinin in plant form it isnt as powerful so you would be giving parasites 4K years to evolve #resistance to low level artemisinin usage... soemthing to think about
