You can spot a victim several feet away. In fact, everyone falls prey to the sandfly. But don't be deceived by the name, they are not restricted to the sand, they are EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!! And you would think that we would have learned our lesson by now (since we've been here for three weeks) and would slather ourselves in DEET each day before venturing out. But no, we are
covered in bites. And the itch. Oh, do those bites itch!!! I recall standing in CVS (drug store) before leaving the states, staring at the anti-itch creams, convincing myself I wouldn't need it. And still, several bites later (now gaping wounds from all of my itching), I am refusing to shell out the four bucks.
