UNFINISHED REREAD NEXT LESSON***

Scientists made a breathalyzer to test for malaria. It could find the disease faster than other methods and help millions. People with malaria have a special “breath print”. The breathalyzer finds chemicals in the breath print. One of the odours the device finds is the same as a smell that attracts malaria-spreading insects. The device is still being developed. The researchers say it could be a new, cheap and easy way to help diagnose malaria.
