Bites & Stings

Scorpions, spiders, ticks, mosquitoes and biting flies are all resident African critters and occasionally they will demonstrate their wrath on an unsuspecting overland passenger and leave a nasty bite.

These should be looked after carefully: in tropical regions of Africa they can easily become infected.

Keep the bite clean - a tube of antiseptic cream is useful, as is washing in medicated soap.
