Why you should not go barefoot in other countries.

[mtnfolk mike]

yikes.. that is some scary stuff... you never what can happen while in other countries... most folks have no idea about this sort of thing...

When in foreign lands....think twice about eating it, stepping on it or having sex with it....Just a few simple rules....

Yup I heard of a guy who picked up some terrible form of gonorrhea that they had no cure for from philippines.

not that walking barefoot isn't asking for trouble in a lot of places, but I saw an interview about this guy on tv and it was a scratched knee that caused the infection. poor bastard

I was going to make a very bad joke about this fellow being able to take advantage of tree huggers - or possibly one about getting to the root of the problem, but in the interest of good taste, I'll refrain.

Seriously, though - that's awful.

All the best,

That is such a good point In colder climates there doesn't seem as many nasty things that get at you heck even our bugs are safer than in hotter places.

Good point hannibal. That is why I like it up here in the PNW. The winter kill off makes it so we don't have to deal with near as many insects etc as other warmer areas. Another problem is that many venomous insects venom becomes more potent the warmer the climate.
