NOW we are ready for Africa

Sure, malaria pills might be enough for some people but when you’ve had over 150 bites more than once you need something with a little more oomph! That’s where the hand held bug zapper comes in. It was a thing of beauty to see it hidden in the pile of crap displayed in a store window on a busy street in Cairo. It looks like a toy tennis racquet but has a metal mesh and runs on two AA batteries. The store was kind enough to show us how well it worked…I was overjoyed when I saw the sparks fly. Genius!

Did you ask for the full body version where you wear it like a clean suit?

Trade in mosquito bites for electro-shock treatment. Bet it is worth it.

Right, bring lots of AA batteries in December.
