Parasites are scary. Had a bedbug scare while visiting in Denver. Nowhere near as gross as Botfly, but still nasty. I'm wigging out because I'm covered in unidentified bites. I still strongly suspect that the vast majority are mosquito bites, but some look eerily characteristic of bedbugs. EVERYTHING is getting washed in hot water and then kept in quarantine when we get home. Oh, and Botfly are a risk in Hawaii, too. Friend of mine got one in her eye. Yes, her eye. Takes a split second for the adult to lay the egg. Said friend thought she just got sand in her eye while gardening until she saw something moving in there. Very gross. The ER says she was lucky where it was that it didn't cause blindness.
