if you had been bitten by bedbugs in the middle of Spain you would know about it by now, it is easy to get caught up in some paranoid fear about bedbugs and then the rumers start and newbies walk in fear-to my knowledge there has been no outbrake of bedbugs so-far this year.Pieces said:well, I arrived back home a few days ago and only now realise that I may actually have been bitten somewhere in the middle of spain...
not really sure what to do now, I will have to see. Read somewhere that it may take up to a week for the rash to appear, guess that is true as i am assuming that it is unlikely that i brought them home unbitten and let them loose in my flat :evil:
Rebekah Scott said:the only insect news I heard from my December Camino and ongoing life here at the halfway point on the Frances concerns spiders and ants.
Spiders at San Juan de Ortega and Arzua, and ants all over the kitchen in Najera.
...and some lice in Sahagun. Which I understand weren´t so much pilgrim-related, but from a group of school kids using the auditorium downstairs -- the pilgrim albergue was fumigated along with the auditorium.
One of the spider victims was Me, but I have to admit I am very sensitive to their bites, and they tend to single me out of the crowd. (poor old me!) Still, one of the great gifts of winter is a real drop in the number of all kinds of critters.
March on, brave pilgrims!
