Confession

Side note here- I have to admit something that some of you will be really disappointed in- I AM ADDICTED TO DEET. I like to live & breathe it on a daily basis. Okay, I've said it, say & think what you will. I know that the bugs could be a lot worse, I actually expected them to be a lot worse. But keep in mind that I spent my entire youth covered in itchy red scabbed spots & scars. I still get chewed up at home & have become covered in bites once again here in Costa Rica. I obviously just taste really sweet (or I just stink). So I get up, spray on the DEET, spray on some DEET, go to dinner, then roll around in bed with it at night & as god is my witness it has helped!

My ankles have been swollen to an unhealthy size from ant bites and I look like I am suffering from the worse case of adult chicken pox you have ever seen. So what do I do? I get up, spray on the DEET, brush my teeth with DEET, spray on some more DEET, go to dinner, wash my bed sheets in the DEET, spray on even more DEET and slip in between the saturated sheets for a night of DEET filled dreams & as god as my witness it is working!!!!!
