what was that yogi??
He caught some life threatening disease and had to have chemo
omg didn't know that yogi
Nor did I. It’s called Leishmaniasis
omg from a bug???
just googled -its from contact with a sand fly
Crikey!....Ive been bitten by those....came up in big red bumps and that was Tenerife I think....or Spain
I presume they are different ones ...or at least not as damp
Also doc with antibots handy
think it was a specific one -
The infectious intracellular protozoa, Leishmania, spread to mammals and humans when a very small (2-3mm or about half or one-third the size of a mosquito) female sand fly bites, and while getting a blood meal, transfers the parasite.
