This lady here spreads it
Leishmania parasites are spread by the bite of infected female sandflies belonging to the Phlebotomus genus
It's like a prettier mosquito.
She sucks.
What if (now hear me out now), we set her to blow.
Don't panic. It's not as bad as it sounds. It doesn't even necessarily need to be treated if people have it:
Your health care provider can talk with CDC staff about whether your case of leishmaniasis should be treated and, if so, with what type of therapy.
If my doctor says, "Hey, just sit tight for a second while I run call the CDC really quick...," I'm leaving immediately.
We have found Patient X
The thought, "That's how outbreaks start" did occur to me, but I'm still not being willingly locked away by men in haz-mat suits.
Yeah, not when there's parties to go to, plus that vacation next week!
Yes, I pre-paid for the finger foods reception at the petting zoo.
"Where the bats pet you back!"
Maybe a chance to meet Dustan Hoffman.
I do love capuchin monkeys...
Bad for dogs.
Hey this goes great with the malaria mosquitoes they're finding in Canada!
and some Dengue herbs and spices 🍷
