[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 249384, member: 33041"] Bed bugs...brrr. Just a few days back from camino number three and this time i have seen more pilgrims get bitten by bedbugs then the other two combined. Why, what and how....no idea, but the further we moved towards Santiago, the worst it would get. A lot of people i knew got bitten. Also standing at the pilgrim office on a very sunny day i saw many other pilgrims (i did not know) standing in line in their shorts and sleeveless shirts with the ooh sooo clear bedbug bites. And i am not talki g about 1 or 2 people.... One thing i did notice, but maybe its just me, but at least 7 out of 10 that i talked to, got bitten when albergue beds were full and they got offered a matras in the albergue instead of a bed. This told me that i will never except a matras anywhere. I would rather walk on or search for another albergue then get on a matras pulled out of the albergue "basement". Lucky for me i did not get bitten. Why not? No idea. Maybe it was because i sprayed all my stuff (liner, sleepingbag, backpack) with permethrin. I find it hard to believe, because permethrin is not a repellent, but hey....i did not get bitten on 3 camino's, so i'll stick to this method. Most i spoke to had no idea of the how, what or why's of treating their stuff. [/QUOTE]
