Puntarenas

Doctor Cruz, a Costa Rican physician at the Clinica Santa Maria in Puntarenas, reduces swelling in Tina's arm and neck. The girl had said she had been bitten by a green lizard, with brown stripes, that walks on its hind legs. Cruz then has Dr. Guitierrez speak with the Bowmans and conlude that the American child was bitten by a common Basiliscus Amoratus. Samples of the lizard's saliva were then forwarded to the University lab in San Jose for testing. Bowman, Christina, L. was discharged the following morning.
