question: My husband is in Afghanistan. The past 4 days he's had nose bleeding at least 4-5 times a day, and now he has mouth ulcers. He thought he had allergies but has been out there for 6 months and the "allery" syptoms just started 2 weeks ago. Everything I look up about his symptoms points towards leishmaniasis. After getting that, how long would it take to start messing your organs up? Also, he never took his malaria pills.
