Struck down by tropical disease!

While in Peru it seems like I managed to pick up a tropical disease... Cutaneous Leishmaniasis is caused by a parasite that is passed on by sandflies. I was eaten alive by them while I was rafting on the Apurimac. The very nice people at The Hospital for Tropical Diseases diagnosed me after a referral from my doctor.
