About the program
Why test in Bali
Street food, raw food, insect bites, rivers and the ocean, pets and animals: life in the tropics brings contact with parasites and pathogens that are uncommon elsewhere. Some cause clear symptoms. Others can remain quiet for a long time and show only as tiredness, digestive trouble, skin irritation or a general sense that something is not right.
This program, developed with our medical partner BSI International, combines a magnified examination of your skin and scalp with microscopy and rapid laboratory tests of your blood, urine and a complete stool sample.
Your results are explained page by page in a written report with photographs, listing what was and was not found. Most infections identified can be treated with natural or conventional remedies, and where a condition needs specialist care, we refer you.
When to consider it
Signs worth looking into
These symptoms have many possible causes. If they began or worsened after time in the tropics, testing can help rule parasites in or out.
Digestion
Ongoing diarrhoea, bloating, gas, abdominal pain or nausea.
Weight and appetite
Unexplained weight loss or a change in appetite.
Skin
Rashes, persistent itching or unusual eruptions.
Energy
Fatigue, muscle aches, chills or recurring low fever.
Sleep
Poor sleep, night-time itching or teeth grinding.
Peace of mind
A thorough check after a long stay or before returning home.
