My father picked up the jungle rot on Guadalcanal. Spent six months in the hospital to get it under control. The doctors told him when he was discharged that he could never donate blood, as the fungus would always be in his blood.
He didn’t have any more problems with it until one time in the early 80’s, when the temperature was over 100 degrees every day for almost two weeks. And that crap came back on him again, all over his legs.
So, you may be able to control it, but I don’t know if you will ever truly get rid of it.

I recall some that had DEEP UGLY sores, mine never got that bad, it spreads to a larger area and swells up more.
I too had heard about not giving blood, long ago?
My latest and most successful Doc says it is NOT systemic.
Maybe the old gasoline fire and ice pick trick??
They are on me somewhere.
