Good news about bed bugs!

[C clearly]

A new study suggests that bed bugs avoid blood with higher alcohol content. Here is the Huffington Post article. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/31/bed-bugs-alcohol-study_n_1559306.html

I think there must be a mutant variety of bed bugs on the Camino!

I know from personal experience, bed bugs are more than happy to host on a red wine drinker

Oh Shoot!! I'm a teetotaller!

As I've never been bitten by bedbugs on the Camino (and rarely by mossies at home) perhaps being a vegetarian helps!

Thats it!!! Bedbugs bite you if you have a fruit based beverage like wine but not a vegetable based beverage like corn whisky... That would satisify all posts. Alcohol may help but wine doesn't. While wine doesn't, being a vegan does..

I think i've cracked it.. Now lets wait for the posts that discharge my theory. :grin:
