Which is worst sickle cell or malaria?

I read some where, (I remember in my mind) that sickle cell is a disease created that made africans immune the Malaria but caused other problems. If this is true tell me, but other than that if a person had sickle cell anemia (can't spell too lazy to check) and he is cannot get malaria. Would he be better or is he in a worse position

Bubba has it right. I'm African so I can offer a unique perspective of this. In Africa, malaria is not a big deal. I've had malaria 3 times. It's like the flu, you just need medicine. People that die from malaria are usually very poor and don't have enough money to get the drugs.

Sickle cell is worse. It is a genetic defect that inhibits the effects of malaria on the body by having some red blood cell shaped like a moon. However, if two people have this defect, there children might have more moon shaped r.b.c鈥檚 then regular r.b.c鈥檚 and that inhibits Oxygen circulation around the Body. Although sickle cell anemia has no cure, it is somewhat treatable and medical advances have really helped Sickle cell patients. Sickle cell anemia is by far the worse of the two.

Worse position. Sickle cell is a permanent genetic defect that will plague your entire life. Malaria on the other hand, while it can make you very sick, is treatable and curable.
