Had bad experiences with sand fly bites while living in Darwin. Didn't know I was bitten but had multiple blisters up to 5-6mm with a clear fluid. After a day or two they would break and then bleed. Healing took up to a month and left scars. On a recent trip up to tropical areas I got more bites even though I had applied repellent. I found that by constantly applying waterless hand cleaner gel(high in alcohol) they did not get as large and I kept it up even when the blister broke(painful!). That kept them under control and cleared up in about two weeks without scars.

The parasites then invade and multiply within the host's immune cells, leading to various forms of leishmaniasis, which can affect the skin, mucous membranes, or internal organs. Transmission typically occurs in tropical and subtropical regions where sandflies are prevalent.
