Got bitten by sand flies in a beach in Palawan, Leishmaniasis again?
The visit to Beach Walk beach was pleasant, it was a nice beach, very long, very wide, very shallow. But my personal problem was I got bit by sand flies. Many times. Some 20 marks on my legs, my shoulders, and a few on my arms. Reminds me of my 1994 suffering at the hands of sand flies in Boracay. During those days i only had ignorant dermatologists who knew nothing and only made things worse with their innumerable injections and steroid creams. I suffered for 2 years then. I gave up on those dermatologists and let the itch run its course.
That isn’t going to happen these days in 2008. We are smarter and well armed these days. I’ve got clove oil, oregano oil, virgin coconut oil and zappers. Much like in the youtube videos of protozoans being disintigrated by the zappers, I found much relief in zapping. I merely step on my zapper terminals for 20 minutes, I have a don croft zapper. I borrowed a barefoot herbalist MH dewormer bottle from my brother. I am doing my kidney cleanses using avocado leaves tea.
And if all these measures fail, there are beam ray operators in Manila. Beam ray machines are frequency generators and can shoot down all the protozoans that may be causing the leishmaniasis documented as being brought by the sand flies. We shall see how these bites progress.
Luckily, the children were not bitten by the sand flies. The victims were myself and my mother in law.
I came down with a cold and a headache for the first time this year. Seems these sand fly bites have a lot more sting than the usual mosquito bite. But this is Palawan, a strange place… who knows what is in those 20 bites?
