I’d agree that it sounds as though this was HITH you’re describing. It’s not limited to just one mark: http://www.wheelchairanglingandhamradio.co.uk/images/oscar-hith.jpg , http://www.wheelchairanglingandhamradio.co.uk/images/oscar-hith.jpg , http://www.jbl.de/img_med/spirohexol_dis_k.jpg
You’re correct that there’s a parasite (hexamita) involved, but there have also been connections to diet and use of carbon in the tank. Flagyl (Metronidazole) is the medication of choice for this.
