Yup, I get that big time. Huge bobbly agony. If I'd known they'd stop itching like mad once I broke the skin I would have scratched even more ferociously than I did...

In Peru I eventually got into a routine of nasty DEET stickiness topped up regularly and not having any exposed skin whatsoever at night-time or around trees or water. (This was trickier than you'd think, what with the whole having-lost-my-baggage thing. There are literally no light long-sleeved women's tops in the Amazon Basin. I eventually found a bunch of long-sleeve skater tops for boys and bought several of them.) On my last night in Peru someone told me about the antihistamines trick. Sigh.
