My first parasite

So, today's exciting piece of news. I had my first parasy! (pronounced parash) It is a lovely little parasite that burrows it's way into your skin. Usually found in the feet (and occasionally hands) these little delights don't really cause much harm as long as they are caught early enough. They can then be removed using a pin. Mine was found on the big toe of my right foot. I didn't get one during my last Madagascan adventure and was starting to feel left out! Parasy live in the sand, and are pretty much inevitable if you spend long enough wandering about in flip flops. Apparently lots of the ground in town is sprayed to stop them multiplying to epidemic numbers. out in Sainte Luce though this is not the case, and I feel that my little parasite friend I said goodbye to this morning will be the first of many! i'll take a photo of the next one to show you.
