PhD has written herbal books based on research grants he obtained to explore the tropics, he describes some of the more common tropical diseases in his book THE GREEN PHARMACY, as I recall.

It came up because they had a scare with their daughter and really freaked but it turned out she had just gotten a scrape. All that to say she may want to see someone who specializes in tropical diseases/parasites just in case.
