I have been told that to defend myself from the aggressive and malaria carrying mosquitoes, to reach into a nest of leafcutter ants. This part of the process you have to be very fast or they will bite you with their large mean pinchers and poison. Then you must squish them into a paste and rub them over your body while making sure none are still alive to bite you.
I am not so sure about this tip as it sounds like a exercise in pain when a simple mosquito spray would be easier. Perhaps I will try this to make my jungle trek more authentic. Of course with my new trusty and HP TabletPC with a GSM data card I will be providing live updated photos to this blog of my adventure.
