It is hard to distinguish anything in a dark mass, but edges show clearly.

SAS 155 - Diseases
When in water, the survivor is more likely to be exposed to water - borne diseases, or those carried by insects and animals. Tropical diseases are less familiar and will therefore be dealt with here in more detail. Where drugs are not available, treatment is largely a matter of dealing with symptoms and making patient comfortable.
