- I've been fighting sickness most likely from a bug bite but we don't know 100% yet what did it. Over a month and very little has changed.

#FinnSnow
I just like to thank you guys once again for guiding me to the right doctors and finding out my problem.
FinnSnow always put a anti Mosquito bugs spray and also buy or carry a water filter cartridge bottle that you can carry everytime like Brita water filter if you think of drinking in a tap water it can filter the water alot just be careful what you eat specially now its a very hot weather in Philippines lots of Mosquito flying around which can cause a dengue or Malaria ia came from Canada and i when i travel from tropical country i always prepared myself specially from mosquito and eating street food.. Just be careful and take good care always... eg vona ao pu sert vel ao gaeta pess ao gaeta alltaf....
LEISHMANIASIS
is a parasitic disease similar to malaria. mosquitoes are vectors / carriers of malaria, while sandflies are vectors / carriers of leishmaniasis. dengue from mosquitoes is a viral (virus) disease, not parasitic. other examples of parasitic diseases include schistosomiasis (from snails) & elephantiasis (from mosquitoes)
viral diseases include influenza (flu), swine flu, bird's flu, mumps, herpes, human papilloma, chicken pox, small pox, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, ebola, measles, rabies, etc.
bacterial diseases include tuberculosis, pneumonia, tetanus, typhoid fever, syphilis, diphtheria, leprosy, food-borne disease, etc.
some bacterial & viral illnesses are "self-limiting", meaning: it "resolves without definitive intervention" or "it runs its course." it's that your immune system will win out in the end and fight it off, but in the meantime, there's no medication that will treat the infection itself although you can try to treat some of the symptoms like pain (by using painreliever) or body heat (by using antipyretic), etc.
parasitic diseases like leishmaniasis, however, are generally not "self-limiting". you really need to "fight it off" with some anti-parasitic medications. they can multiply in numbers if untreated. that's why you should be "religious" enough in taking the meds, meaning: "without skipping". duration for the medication can run for months, depending on the severity and response to the treatment
note: palawan is probably the only place in the philippines with high number of malarial cases. dengue is common nationwide, especially in urban areas. leishmaniasis is prevalent in areas near the beach (where sandflies thrive). schistosomiasis (fluke) is likewise prevalent nationwide, especially where there are rice paddies & water systems. elephantiasis is prevalent mostly in bicol areas (but there are also cases in the eastern region of visayas & eastern mindanao). these are some of the common tropical diseases in the philippines
btw, co-amoxiclav is an antibiotic containing amoxicillin (penicillin) & clavulanic acid (to stop the chemical produced by the bacteria from working, this allows the amoxicillin to kill the bacteria). it is not an anti-parasitic drug
the indiscriminate use of antibiotics /antibacterial drugs lead to the development of "drug-resistant bacteria". it is wise & advisable to follow doctor's recommendations (prescribed numbers of antibiotics per day, as well as, the duration (length of time) of the treatment) to prevent "drug-resistance"
in the philippines, almost all antibiotics / antibacterial drugs nowadays are "Rx drugs," meaning: pharmacist will not dispense them without doctor's prescription. it is due to the "drug resistance" problem worldwide
finally, it is important to cover the wound with a water-resistant bandage & gauge when taking a shower to avoid seeping into the wound. most water (except distilled ones) are not bacteria-free. water can complicate or prolong wound healing. if unavoidable, you can use a small towel, dip it in lukewarm water w/ drops of alcohol / menthol & gently rub it in the affected area
use mosquito-repellant (with DEET) like off lotion sparingly, as it can be harmful to the skin in the long run. use them only in places where mosquitoes are incalculable. there are "mosquito zappers" available in sm or ayala hardwares for Php 500. i turn it on every 5PM to 9PM (never overnight) just to zap or kill bugs / insects. it emits violet light (magnetic to bugs) then voila, kill the unwitting bugs with a big bang! hehe
please go to the doctor/ hospital and let them check it.
Hello Finn. You said in you’re video you found the happiness you had been searching for all your life. I had the same experience. I was in a very dark place in my life. I told God if it was his will for me to be alone I could accept that but asked him to show me how to be happy again. He lead me to the Philippines. There I meet the wonderful woman who became my wife and with her I found more joy and happiness than I ever imagined possible. I love the islands and the wonderful people of the Philippines.
JJ S 😃
❤❤❤
We have a very similar story it sounds, at least in this regard... I'm in the Philippines now to marry an AMAZING filipina myself. She is wonderful and so is her family that has been SOOOOOOOO welcoming to me. Something I was absolutely not looking for and was totally not in my life plans, but God knew what was best for me and lead me literally to the other side of the world to find a couple years ago, and I couldn't be more happy... Take care and best of wishes to you and your family.
JJ S im so glad that you have experienced that too,cuz even if im sad 😔,my fellow filipinos would always cheer me up no matter were apart right now, i still made new friends again and again,so thats why i love the Philippines
Hi
I live here in the UK. First world they say. Quiet, no traffic, less pollution. But i never feel safe. Weird I know. For instance, I can’t or no one in here will allow their child (elementary/primary school age) to go outside by themselves and go to the playground alone unless accompanied by an adult. You can’t just take pictures anywhere they always worried of something. Also no parents would just trust you with their child even though their child and your child are classmates since early yrs. Everything doesn’t feel right. Everyone is so uptight. People occassionally smile but no warmth.
I realised Philippines is a developing country but we never loose that hospitality, true care and friendliness. Just give one Filipino one warm smile and they will go extra mile for you. Crowded, polluted, noisey but you will feel at ease and relax.
Very true
it depends which part of the uk you live in, if its london then u r not safe, same in some parts of manila, but a bit further from london is fine, i live in west sussex near gatwick airport, and i feel safer here than my home in manila, i miss the philippines too, someday im going back for good but not in manila, maybe batangas or ilocos
With all the news about child trafficking and pedophilia, that's not surprising
To correct some of other information from ph, just don't go to Manila cause it's just too crowded tendencies r pollution snatching accidents n others but don't be skeptic ask real n kind people they will guide u. travel other places I recommend luzon,visayas anywhere specially provinces there r a lot of cultures here and languages seriously n their hospitality is absolute crazy like touring without paying any fees just be humble and be kind n they will do the same to you. Trust me whenever u go you always feels like home. That's also the downside cause they always feel like home kareoke everywhere (some parts) when they drunk they don't clean their dirt n now the owner gets angry then fighting against each other but hey it's also the fun part.
@@takitobutface6805 the provinc6e in the Philjppines is a better place not crowded unlike big city of Manila.
The Filipino hospitality is insane! I absolutely LOVE that about this place. Soooooooooooo much different than my home in the U.S.. I live in small town USA and was a wonderful place to grow up, but very different also. I'm currently in the Philippines my 2nd time and there are some things that drive me crazy, like the Filipino time and no sense of urgency in anything. BUT, at the same time, it's something I love about the place also. It's hard to explain... I apparently got into poison ivy the day I left the U.S and my arm is covered when I arrived here. They saw me in the clinic and perscibed me meds at absolutely no cost at all, just the cost of the meds. You'd NEVER get that in the U.S., at least not being a person that has to pay your own way/not a person living off the government. That's a whoooooole other problem though...haha Finding a happy medium between the U.S. government and the Philippine government would make for a perfect balance in my opinion. Well, enough political talk...😲 I do look forward to eventually living here with my (soon to be) filipina wife, but need to make some more money in the U.S. before we can take it easy here. Enjoy your life in the Philippines man! I wish I would have found my way here a decade or two sooner...haha Ingat my friend!
Daghang Salamat
People in Philippines are very friendly and happy. I miss my stay in Philippines.
Filipino Hospitality is something to experience. I have not experienced that sort of Hospitality in any other Country I have visited. Filipinos are very special people :) I look forward to seeing the progress on the school. That is a fantastic thing to do Finn :)
I miss the Mangos and all the fresh fruits in the Philippines! Hope your feeling better Finn! take it easy bro
Dustin Borglin miss u too
Karen Advincula I hope to be back soon : )

Try the durian in Davao City
I can't believe this but I already had a plan in place to go to Phillipines for my gf... I watched your videos and kept wondering how the hell he is getting all videos. You're the reason I have a drone now and get to share a better experience in Phillipines being my first trip out America end of this month. Love the content and I hope you stay healthy on your journey
How's your trip man?
Wow, I'm from Brazil, and I admire the Philippines. ❤
Kalley Snow Oh yeah!
Kalley Snow dont. They only admire foreigners. People of their same race are being ignored.
happymoments That is a part of a human life. What do you think we should do. So if we ignore locals does that mean that we should ignore the foreigners too?
Happymoments, That's just negative and 100% incorrect.. Look at the most popular youtubers in Philippines. Filipinos. Most adored celebrities in Philippines, Filipinos.
FinnSnow u havent touch the core of the culture man. Can i have a heart from u? 😂
Thanks for inspiring us Finn. I've been thinking why you're my favorite vlogger. Now I realized that you're a sincere person with a kind heart. You're a true person in everything you do. You honestly say when you like or you don't like a thing. Some vloggers just say good things about the Philippines just to gain more viewers and subscribers. I don't see them in you. Keep being real and keep doing a good job. And your blessings will just come as surprises.
Billy John Moreno i noticed that too.
that's one of Filipino character.we always know how to give even though we don't have that much.

Hello Finn! Ive been watching almost all you're vlogs and you're my fav vlogger aside from Kulas Kyle. Because you're so simple, candid, sincere. And you describe things, places, food so naturally. How i wish i can join you in 1 of your meet up in Cebu. I do travel a lot too. Am a wanderlust. 1 of my wish is to be able to meet my fav vloggers: You or Kulas and i'll be happy to experience that eventful moment.
take care of yourself & of course Sherlyn
Love the Cebu City vlog! Nice to see more about the city where you live. Hope your hand gets better!
I know you be missing your woman taking good care of you. You're doing the right thing Finn. Just get some rest. You've been going full speed for quite some time now. Get LOTS of rest; not just a few days.
I think it would be cool if you could meet up the HUNGRY SYRIAN WANDERER the next time you go to Manila. That guy is like you; he spreads joy wherever he goes.
hope your better....and thanks for your vlogs...they are great
Ohh my! I sincerely hope the issue with your hand is resolved by now. I’m behind but slowly catching up. This was very nice to see how life goes when you’re at home. One day would you give us a tour of your flat?
We are also happy because you chose our country to stay to live and explore for the mean time, i know you said that you are not belong here, but for us you are even just for a while in your life.Thank you
Continue doing daily vlog it's good to see and watch your daily activities.

Hi Finn... Just discovered your channel. Greatly enjoyed your vlog about the Philippines, I hope to travel there myself next year to meet my filapina friend. Thanks for keeping your vlog real and it is great you are helping to start a school in the Philippines. Great way to give back bro! Much respect from this viewer from the USA... Thanks for a great preview of places I may see next year. DB
You are my favorite vlogger Pinpin .. when i see a foreigner like you i just notice their blue eyes .. but in you i see a typical Filipino kuya ..
That you recover Soon " God bless you !! .
Right now I been living here in the U.S.A I still won’t forget where I came I’m a Filipina by heart and soul and I carried my good hospitality on my job. Loved to cook Filipino foods for all my fellow friends Americans ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always take care of yourself Finn. Get well soon !
Salute to you my friend keep it up to your journey in our country
Hope your hand heals up buddy! Everybody tells me cebu is like a little manilla but it looked so clean and nice in your vlog. I've been debating on moving there. As always great vlog!
Brian Bechly its not as developed as manila but its cleaner.execpt for mandaues traffic.cebu is better than manila.
Max Paul ok cool Thanks! I live in Dumaguete now. It's to small for me. Everybody knows everybody and you can't escape the drama. Haha. I think a bigger city would better suit me.
George Sorrows I'm as critical as you are about the country, but you, presenting yourself about the country to the foreigners in bad light is kind of superfluous. CRAB MENTALITY much?
George Sorrows You are stating the obvious, do not be pedantic dude. You are too nega, be positive nman.
George Sorrows LOL! Nobody cares about your facts bs everybody here knows what you are talking about. Obviously you don't get my point. Read it again.
Finn, I hope you get feeling well and heal soon.
Ohhh...Thank You for visiting my beloved country of the Philippines 🇵🇭
Nice one.
For real.. our country is a paradise..
You've got all what u are looking for..
Smile
Happiness is a choice baby💜💜💜
