Bangkok - The Devil Has Wings!
Proof...

Last Hurrah in Bangkok
How would I know that my 10 minutes of fame would be as a lancing subject in a Bangkok Pharmacists office? I also have the dubious honor of having a photo of my affliction included as a case study on the wall of this wonderful institution, conveniently located next to a 7-11 near infamous Kao San Rd.
Despite hydrogen peroxide, my mild scratching and bandaging of the bites from a particularly nasty type of mosquito resulted in a two small, but dramatic, infections. Like the poison oak it resembled, this series of small blisters was spreading. After 3 months (and previous trips) in the tropics, I'd never seen anything like it. I know it seems relatively small, but it was irritated as heck being in a crease and all, and not an affliction one wants during hand abusing border crossings into a 3rd world country toting lots of luggage.


Pretty nasty! It seems some strange twist of fate that I'm often leaving countries bandaged with some last minute bazaar injury.
