My Travel Nightmare: Surviving a Rare Amazon Disease (Leishmaniasis)

In the past 14 years of full-time solo travel around the world, I haven’t run into one series problem or illness. That was until exactly 8 months ago, when a trip to the Amazon Jungle changed my life forever... Back in March of 2023, I spent a beautiful week in the Ecuadorian Amazon Jungle. I met the most amazing people. We ate together, drank together, bathed together, fished together - I felt the most alive I have on a trip in a long time. Watch the Amazon Tribe episode here ►    • Day in the Life of an Amazon Jungle Tribe!   Fast forward two months after returning from the Amazon, and I started to notice something growing on the back of my left calf. I went to a primary care doctor and two dermatologists before a biopsy was sent to the CDC for testing. The CDC came back with the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The culprit was an infected sandfly carrying the flesh-eating parasite known as leishmania.There are three main forms of leishmaniasis: ① Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, which causes lesions on the skin. ② Mucosal Leishmaniasis, which attacks the nose, mouth and throat. ③ Visceral leishmaniasis, which attacks your internal organs and severe cases can be fatal. What species of leishmania you have is larger based on where you traveled to. I was diagnosed with Leishmania braziliensis. This is the frustrating true story of my Leishmaniasis journey. ——— FOLLOW ALONG ——— YOUTUBE: Food Channel ► https://bit.ly/GarethEatsSubscribe Main Channel ► https://bit.ly/you-da-best INSTAGRAM: Travel ►   / traveldeeper   Food ►   / garetheats   Personal ►   / gareth.leonard   TIKTOK: Travel ► @Travel.Deeper Food ► @GarethEats WEBSITES: Patreon ►   / garethleonard   Merch ► https://traveldeeper.shop Personal ► https://www.garethleonard.com Travel Deeper Blog ► https://tourist2townie.com ——— WATCH ANOTHER TRAVEL SERIES ——— Croatia ► https://bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Croatia-...
