Just as Allah can test us with a cough or the flu, He can test us with evil eye, jinn, or magic. Take the means to protect yourself and your family, more than you would against bacteria, whether or not you suspect anything. The first response is your own consistent Quran recitation, sunnah supplications, and presence of heart, not someone else reading over you. Engage a trusted reciter only in severe, uncontrollable cases.
