The albergues have started handing out disposible sheets for our beds and pillows. I sleep much better with the sheet over my bed. Before I tried my best to caccoon into my sleeping bag so no part of me was touching the bed at all.

Or,
the Leechbook suggested a number of cures 'for nits in the head':
[1] Make lye of wild nept (bryony) and therewith wash your head, & it will destroy them;
[2] Take quicklime or piment [spiced wine], amd make powder of them, and mix the powder with vinegar and annoint the head with it. And this destroys them without falling of hair or any other harm;
[3] Take seawater or else brine, and wash your head, and that shall destroy them;
[4] Take the juice of a herb that is called blight, and anoint your head with it, and both lice and nits shall fall away.;
[5] Take a broad list [strip of cloth] the length of a girdle, and anoint the one side with fresh grease mingled with quick-silver, and spread on it the powder of lichen and press on it with your finger so that it sticks firmly to it, and then fold it together, and sew together the sides; and then wind it in a linen cloth; and sew it together, and wear it henceforth; and the lice & nits shall die.
Touva said:I'm in Mazarife and I got some bed bugs a couple of days ago down the trail. I also talked to several other pilgrims who have pciked them up. Some others have been seen on pilgrims in the bathroom after showers. Be careful if you can...with so many people on the trail the chance of picking something up goes up if the people do not properly clean the albergues. Also, people carry the bugs down the trail....
