As directed by the Mt Auburn Health Clinic, before packing I sprayed my backpack, hiking booties & clothes in a contact insecticide (or as Stu called it, "bugging out!") It last for about 7 washes, which I hope is enough. It will help in preventing Dengue Fever, but I will have a lot of DEET on my person, too. I won't need this so much on the little island where I will be spending most of my time, but after when traveling around the country, especially in the North.

Something wrong about wearing toxic clothes, but I guess the alternative is worse.
