Suggest Treatment For Tropical Parasite
my sister has a tropical parasite, It is almost going to drive her crazy, Its like it makes a spider web under her skin an on top. She has been to many doctors en clouding Scrips in California. She has been to at least six in Nevada. What should she do He son Zack has now been infected I'm worried. Would a microbiology Dr be her next step? Doctors are not able to understand or have patients to figure her problem out. She first was infected in Costa Rica ware they treated her for three parasites but the all did not get diagnostic properly. Many Thanks Please Help a Big Brother be a hero and point us in the direction that will help her and Zack, Thanks Andy

Hi Andy,
I am sorry for the situation your sister and her son is going through.
First, I need to have the lab reports to see the types of parasites she was diagnosed.
Next, apart the presence of spider web under the skin, do they have any other symptom:
- fever?
- itching?
- pain?
- or any other symptom?
All these data are necessary to understand their current health problems and find out the right solution.
