Buzi

Quick update on previously mentioned mosquito problem.

The number of bites on my body is quickly moving toward catastrophic levels. While sitting in bed writing the Ojakhi post, I literally received eight new bites.

The chacha remedy that my host mother gave me yesterday works pretty well to stop the itching and swelling, but only lasts a little while. My host sister Irma informed me that the smell of it also keeps them away (they seem impervious to regular bug spray), but I don't know how appropriate it would be for me to reek of vodka on a regular basis.

If anyone has any remedies/ideas/would like to come restrain me from scratching myself, please let me know.
