Insects are more of an irritation than a serious problem, but
on the coast, in the jungle and to a lesser extent in the mountains, the common
fly is a definite pest. Although it can carry typhoid, there is little one can
do; you might spend mealtimes successfully fighting flies from your plate but
even in expensive restaurants it's difficult to regulate hygiene in the
kitchens. A more obvious problem is the mosquito , which in some parts of the
lowland jungle carries malaria. Repellents are of limited value - it's better to
cover your arms, legs and feet with a good layer of clothing. Mosquitoes tend to
emerge after dark, but the daytime holds even worse biting insects in the jungle
regions, among them the Manta Blanca (or white blanket), so called because they
swarm as a blanket of tiny flying insects. They don't hurt when they bite but
itch like crazy for a few days after. Antihistamine creams or tablets can reduce
the sting or itchiness of most insect bites, but try not to scratch them, and if
it gets unbearable go to the nearest farmacia for advice. To keep hotel rooms
relatively clear, buy some of the spirals of incense-like pyrethrin , available
cheaply everywhere.
