About tropical diseases

Uh!

When i moved to shiny Israel a couple of months ago, I basically thought to dry my wet bones from rainy Brussels years.

Back from a short trip in May to Ko Phangan, Thailand, i brought back with me also an annoying series of wounds on my leg, that after some time turned to be the expression of the presence of a wild parassite, yet undefined.

When two weeks after my return to Brussels one of the wound blocked my right leg, I accepted to meet a doctor. Two weeks in bed and antibiotics. The worst wound cured, another three turn to bad.

Then I had some other things to think about it and did not care about the parassite until I came to Tel Aviv, where i realised my wounds were getting worst, and i also had too many dizzy moment in a day.

After some consultations with "emeriti' professors and some exams i have received a very strong treatment, and finally after five months, the situation is getting better, maybe the parassite is gone.

Few days ago while reading a very old 'Il Diario della Settimana' from 220307, I read an article about the fight against diseases in Africa and in general against the big phama industry.

And i read:

"The Drugs for Neglected Deseases Initiative in Africa will research many diseases most forgot by the pharma industry, like the Leshmaniasis, an extremely strong killer of Humanity, in Africa as in Asia"

Well, the parassite in my leg, is called Leshmaniasis.
