Discomforts and Risks:
Though kambo is safe for most people, the following discomforts and risks could be associated with your kambo treatment.
Some discomfort may follow for 1-5 days after taking kambo. Most are resolved by the next day, however, some may persist longer. Some discomforts may include, nausea, vomiting, headache (due to toxin release or tension), feeling some fatigue and sleepiness, and possible depression. Please note that this can just be a process and usually resolves within 1-5 days.
There are some risks, that if you have an existing condition, you may experience a Herxheimer effect, which is when the symptoms get worse before getting better. Much like when you are detoxing.
To date, there have been four instances of esophageal rupture after using kambo. Kambo is not the cause of these ruptures, however, if there is a pre-existing condition, a rupture could occur. Though this is very rare, it is important that you understand all possibilities. If after kambo you experience dizziness, pain or vomiting blood, please call your practitioner and seek medical attention.
