I thought same, but he was 19, so I will cut him some slack there. However, why didn't he go to the hospital at the closest major city vs going all the way back to NY? They'd have much more experience of dealing with those infections actually. I had a weird red rash I got in Panama. US doc had no explanation, told me I needed to do high dose IV anti biotics and other meds and got me all freaked out. Saw a doc in Panama. Took one look at it, told me to wash with ketoconazole shampoo I could get at any pharmacy, and leave on for 10 mins, and it was gone within the weak, never returned. The locals are usually your best option for local infections like that. I assume he came to learn that as time went on.

I admire his desire to preserve the rights of indigenous people and the beauty and wisdom of nature but the fact that he had a mom in the background ready to fly him out at great expense means he always had a safety net yet he seems very dismissive of the naïveté of the ecotourists and boastful about his survival skills, however it was the evils of civilization that eventually saved him

Can see that this guys experience has made him into a real man.. well done mate. You have experienced life to a point only very few will.

On the bot flies thing there’s a easy solution we use on south of Brazil which is a somewhat dried up chunk of pig’s fat. You put on where the bot flies or any other time of maggots made into any flesh , the larvae will go crazy eating all the fat and it comes out very easily.

Growing up far from the Amazon in São Paulo, Brazil, my sister and I each found a botfly in our skin on separate occasions. Not that differently from how Paul’s friends get rid of them, my mother helped us out with dry tobacco leaves soaked in an iodine-and-alcohol solution to remove them from where they were lodged.

Their conversation follows an interesting pattern: Lex: "Was it dangerous?" Paul: "Not really" ....continues with a story of almost dying

Kind of ironic he was saved by the people he's trying to save the jungle from

I imagine the dark irony of being saved by a boat filled with poached animals was not lost on him. I imagine it probably gave him the resolve and the mental strength to survive the infection so that he could continue on and keep helping animals. Just a thought 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yup that’s what happened it Vietnam. It would take them a week to travel somewhere that would usually take 1 day. Than you got mosquitos, snakes and god knows what else. Snipers taking you out 1 at a time. They had a rough time and the Viet Cong did it on purpose. They knew Americans wouldn’t be ready for jungle warfare. They had tunnels, booby traps and all sorts of things. You gotta give it to them and the Taliban, they’re very smart when it comes to war. They fight with their hearts too, not like a lot of US troops who just want the benefits. These people are in flip flops and only have a rusty AK.. just think about that. All the technology the US has and the Taliban took it to them. Everything is useless when your in a cave lol. They flood the area with IEDs and use guerrilla tactics.

Funny, that he says that he could not light firs or catch fish. I worked and lived in the Amazon jungle when I was 18 and I made fires. We used plastic bags or strips of rubber to get the first flames and use it to get the wood fire going. I also had to find and catch my own food. There where berries on the ground from 200 feet trees, birds to shoot with a slingshot and fish to catch with all kinds of traps we made or we scooped them up with a large straw hat. I even caught small fish with plastic bags to later catch piranha with. If there is a patch or grass in the water there will be shrimps' there that you can also catch with a hat. I can go on. Its just key to watch the Indians and locals and learn and after a while you can survive. But I must say, that my time in the jungle was not as romantic as people think. I was not always hungry, but still I felt like an animal, often craving for better food. I could be a jungle guide, and maybe I will be one day after I raised my kid ( 42 years old now and living in Europe ).

My friend is a shaman and has to go into the jungle to train and he didn’t experience this but he has some stories to.

There is a tree called a Copal. Some call it a locust. It drops this crazy evergreen type sap that hardens into a frosted looking piece that looks like amber. If you can get a piece of that sap burning it will help keep a fire. I have made a fire in Guyana. But didn't keep it more than a few hours till it started raining. The Indians do know how to cook with a regular fire by the river side. I don't know how they do it during the wet season. You can split standing dead wood and make shavings from the inner core to get the driest wood possible.
