i am looking forward to: being in a place where i am not being bitten by unknown insects that seem to know exactly where and when i applied the chemical filled repellant that generally works for about 20 minutes. at one point during the trip i was going to keep a list of all the bugs and types of bites but since i never met a bug-ologist (aka entomologist) i never got to know the names of any of them. so they remain...
the miniscule bug that leaves a welt on you 20 minutes later that doesn´t hurt or itch
the spider that bites at night and leaves little red marks on your skin
the misquito that makes your skin itch just by touching it
the misquito that leaves bites that last for over a month
the spidery-thing that bites you, leave a quarter-size welt that turns to a red dot that leaves you itching for days
the ankle biter- the unknown bug that bites only your ankles and legs
stupid scabies
bastard bed bugs
oh and these are just a few of the ones that are on land...there are more, and there are many more in the water! yep, fairly positive i will not miss any of them. one more reason to be grateful for living in a pollution-filled, over-sanitized, industrialized nation!
by the way, can people build a resistance to bug spray? also, i think companies would make a fortune if they could create an all in one bug repellant-sunblock-skin creme...undoubtedly it would be harmful and lead to some deformity or terminal illness but for the moment it would be worth it! of course i wouldn´t use it because i am against sunblock but it might actually be the way to get me to wear sunblock! haha. actually i am considering wearing sunblock the next few days while at the beach, the staff here at the hostel have started to call me, ´la morena´
