    Bedbugs

    These two links about the bed bug is the best I've seen. Thanks you, dougfitz. I've had two bites on my lower arm on my last trip to Francis, just once in an Albergue. It appeared as two red dots with no irritations. But I've seen a women I was travelling with, had irritations like mosquito...

    Most Affordable Camino??

    Two things I have to mention about sleeping outsides are camping rules and bathrooms. Walking with little budget is one thing but keeping the camino in condition for others to enjoy must be followed: Official campsites with services are not very common, often located several kilometers...

    Bedbug Remedy

    This is probability the easiest method to use next to using hot clothes dryer, on Camino but not sure how effect this method would be as the spray chemical kills on contact. Permithrin is used to scabies and lice on human so skin contact would be OK, I think.
