...Ted is right about the Mosquitos. And if you are lucky enough to not be
carried away by them then you will most likely see little black fies
zooming away with chunks of your flesh.
Mosquitos just stick needles in you and take your blood. Black flies use
hard rock mining gear to rip through your flesh.
Bring bandaids...
WARNING!: DO NOT get Muskol or Off on the your Leicas.
WASH YOUR HANDS after applying bug repellant.
...have a nice trip :^)
