A month ago while camping I had my first encounter with the horrible creatures. A hundred or so bites, mostly in underwear region since it was the only place I didn't spray down with Deet. Please don't waste time asking personal questions about where they bit me, the answer would be yes. I had to take the steroid pack and doxycycline. Horrible expierence. Be afraid...be very afraid.

And yes, all clothes, sleeping bag, etc. were torched with fire and covered with lime and then covered with a foot of dirt, then sprayed down with methyl parathion. I shouldv'e thrown a clove of garlic on the pile for good measure.
