I just have to say, you are an incredibly wise and nurturing individual! When the the doctors consistently turn you down and misdiagnose us here in the US when the facts of what is happening to our bodies is CLEARLY seen all the while, internally screaming and scared of what is becoming of our literal flesh. To have the WISDOM and knowledge is one thing, but to SHARE that knowledge is what God has intended!!!! Bless you, and thank you!!!!

Hello! Just brought this bites from Chiapas. The worst is gone by itself (the ring was around just one of the bites, the rest are simply red, swallen and still itchy, bleeding after 3 weeks). Please explain about the chinese herb and how to use it? Also the berberine oil… so far cant get it from amazon. Im in Dominican republic. Can maybe order some stuff from internet and get it delivered here. Thanks in advance.

linds + Max: Hey guys, I am really glad that my described experience helped you. Would not call it "wisdom," that is perhaps too flattering, it is just a DYI solution, because obviously, that one you receive in the hospitals around the world are only paper-based (and not common-sense-based). Hope you are all doing well!

Hello.
Thank you very much for this post, you saved me of a lot of pain, itching and wounded skin. We went to play beach volley ball just after a storm and I got bit by something about 8 times. Most of bytes were on feet and lower leg, one on shoulder. I did not know and did not pay attention till I got home next day and saw these horrible broken skin bytes oozing yellowish transparent liquid. My friend got that few years ago in Vietnam and now he has a hole in his muscle. I was very worried because I did not know how to treat this. I found your post among first ones and saw pictures that were same as my bytes. I did the spoon thing on my shoulder to heat it up and used tea tree oil and wormwood on it. I immediately stopped oozing because I believe the parasite died. I have put oil on a make up cotton and hoot spoon over it. On other places on feet and leg I have used a blow drier because I got burned by spoon and did not want to do it like that. It worked like a charm. Oozing stopped on every byte and redness is going away too. Little scab has formed on tip and it looks like it is healing nicely. I will persist with oil treatment and heating up for few more days just to be sure. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with us.
Currently in Roatan. Having some severe reactions to sand fly bites. Thank you for the details and photos. will be keeping an eye out for any further symptoms if they occur. Will let you know if I have to try your method!

Taylor: Thank you for telling me! My friend lived on NZ, but she probably contracted this parasite somewhere else in the Pacific Ocean. I corrected my statement. Feedback appreciated!

New Zealand doesn't have this parasite. I think you must've been mistaken as to what country your friend contracted leishminiasis.

Well, it's a big mistake to miss El Nido just because of sandflies. There is also a risk of malaria, although it's kind of low. If the disease is not deadly, then it's treatable! :) Dunno about the medication. There are also two types of Leishmaniasis. Visceral is much more severe and if untreated, it can be fatal... This skin form should be treated locally, not by swallowing by some wide-range effecting pills, that's my opinion...

You know, these damn sandflies and similar pictures made me decide not to go to El Nido in Palawan.. Good thing to know that in a worst case scenario, you can treat these bites with some on-the-spot woodoo. I read somewhere, that there is a western style medication for these bites and if you apply it in the erarly stages, the symptoms should ease off very soon with no scars or marks at all.
