I recently graduated from the University of Connecticut with a BA in English. Instead of going to work, I will be spending a year with the Haitian Health Foundation in Jeremie, Haiti.
Here is a quick picture of the pinez bites I received before Christmas. Pinez are like bed bugs but they live in the woven chairs here. I was out in the village of Campagne sitting in on a Responsible Sexuality session, and I didn't even know I was being bitten! But I sure felt them later. The only relief I had while I was out there was to go into the bedroom and scratch until I was satisfied! When I got back to Jeremie I was able to get some cortizone which provided relief, but they were nasty bites while they lasted! I had over 100 on the backs of my thighs!
Thats disgustingly awesome.
ReplyDeleteJust read about those nasty little fuckers in Dandicat's Dew Breaker.
ReplyDeleteWanted to look up what they were and wound up here.
Same. I just read about them in The Dew Breaker as well.
