A good friend of mine just finished QT this last weekend with this PT. He got 30 days of copper power, then two rounds of Prazi 5 days apart. The PT now has these 6 spots on one side and one spot on the other.

Here’s the catch, he tried to monitor his copper power with the API test kit and I don’t think he fared too well, at the end he brought a water sample over and my Hanna checker showed 3.19 ppm which is way overboard. I suspect he may have went below 1.50 ppm also in the beginning. The PT did have flukes that were identified with a FW dip then treated with Prazi.

He is having a hard time describing if the spots look granular over the phone. what do you think?

I would FW dip and double check for flukes. Just to rule that out.

If no flukes are present, then those might be viral/bacterial lesions brought on by copper exposure.
