    Vegan on the Camino!

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    They only eat one a week, so I can't see how they are in your baggage, sounds like you have been unlucky. I'd use a permethrin-based product before and after washing/dryer. Look very carefully through all your kit in the light of day, at least to ease your mind a little.

    Blisters on soles of feet

    Don't burst the blisters, they are there for a reason and help stop infection. Keep feet dry as possible by changing socks twice a day. I find covering any hotspots with vaseline in the morning, this helps protects the feet like a barrier. As you have blisters already, then cover them with a...
