    The one thing we can be thankful for is they like to bite muscle -flesh and not genitalia and armpits like pepper ticks. Apparently fleas are attracted to estrogen as well.

    They are spreading them around the albergue as they move around the beds and dormitory. They are spreading them within the albergue.

    It is well known that this donotivo private albergue is having pilgrims leave with bites. As is the one opposite the church in villafranca del bierzo. I squashed a blood engorged bed bug in fromista i had three bites. They had cats wandering about inside the albergue spreading them around...

    In Carrión de los Condes now, doubting about next steps

    I am sure you will choose the right path for you. It takes courage to walk the path less travelled. I did a solo hike where I did not meet a single person or civilisation for ten days. My companions were the birds and kangaroos. It was the hardest hike i have ever done. I ended up talking...

    On donkeys, guns, sailboats and true pilgrimages

    Donkeys live along time. So i would ask the age of the donkey before renting it. They can also be quite noisy, so ask for a quiet one.

    Is this bedbugs?

    Yes but you need to read the fine print on the policy, the excess could be more than the 20 euro appointment and the drugs. Yes for hospitalization its important, but for just a common cold the pilgrim could still be out of pocket. Its amazing how some insurers avoid having too paying out. Read...

    Is this bedbugs?

    A study proved that Tea tree oil cured fungal yellow toe nails in half the time of lamysyl in 85 percent of cases. It works on athletes foot/ tinea as well thats great - its definetly worth its weight on the hike. Also disinfectant aerosol spray is great for curing athletes foot as well. We have...

    Is this bedbugs?

    Manuka honey is another product that could help. It has an antibiotic factor and is quite successful against a range of germs. Tea tree oil is powerful enough it can kill MRSA, then manuka might be longer lasting on the skin, being a honey gel rather than an oil. Maybe you could get a manuka...

    Is this bedbugs?

    You can buy tea tree oil in portomarin, i tried maybe 7 farmacias before this and the oil is not cheap. that is where I got it. By then the infections of the bugs had taken hold, I had the sores for a number of days. The oil would have have cut down the infection time had I oiled the bites...

    Is this bedbugs?

    The bites have finally given up being infected that is the ones i treated with tea tree oil. it also removed the itch. The ones on my back that I cannot reach continue to itch and are infected. That oil is good and I would recommend it as part of the camino kit. I would even use it as a...

    Is this bedbugs?

    Every time the bug bites look like they are on the way out. I wake up to see them turn red again. Then hit them with tea tree oil and the redness backs awayagain. Who knows what germs and viruses these horrid bugs have. Seriously what is the spanish health department doing about this. The cost...

    Is this bedbugs?

    Villafranca associate albergue is the one most likely to have caused this. This is the one next to the church not the municipal as you walk into town. The alburge with no toilet seats, and shower curtains as toilet doors. It also has allot of wood in the dormitory for bed bugs to nest...

    Yes they are, I got feasted apon, now I am paranoid after the fumigation eashing. Am still getting red spots. I am seeing specks of white on my sleeping bag I am like is that an egg? They are mean blood suckers, just stay at municipals where they give you the bed bug covers as part of the deal.

    Is this bedbugs?

    Bed bugs have claimed 2 more victims including me, my red marks have just emerged and they are on my back and arms.the pharmacy sells neosayomol but it does not make any difference and its 7 euros. Very pissed off. Maybe tea tree oil will be good?
