By the way, my husband had a few bites but nothing like me. The night I got all the bites, he was on the top bunk. Perhaps the bugs were satisfied with me and didn’t need to go further. If I go this summer, I plan to bring a large black garbage bag and keep my backpack in it when in the room.
I had an extreme reaction to bed bug bites last year. I was bitten it seemed from head to toe the second night on the camino and had to eventually see a doctor and had to cut our trip short as a result. If I knew then what I know now I would have taken more precautions. I’m still being...
Very grateful for health center in Arzua. In and out in less than two hours. Got treated for severe allergic reaction to something (all my bites???)--eyes almost swollen shut. Got meds around the corner. Then witnessed epic hailstorm. Tomorrow Santiago!!!!!!
I started a conversation about all the bites I got. Some of my bites are blistering. Does anyone know what might be causing them and the treatment. I seem to be a bug magnet. My husband in the same room is getting nothing.
I didn't know all the correct procedures about informing albergue. I tried calling today but my call keeps dropping. It was Padres Reparadores where I felt bitten. I was in room 5 first lower bed on left. If someone can please let them know. I'll try to call again.

I machine washed and machine dried everything I could at next stop. Bought topical allergy cream today. Any suggestions on how to protect myself? Counted 50+ bites on one leg alone!
