Ant Pop

I'm horrified right now.....there are officially too many gross disgusting creatures that live in Bolivia for me to handle. I got home from school today and got a glass out of our china cabinet and poured a little Green Apple Simba (pop) into the glass and drank some. I gave the cup to Grant he drank some--he handed it back to me and I took another drink and looked into the cup as I did so I found tons of ants swimming in the green pop!! I don't know how or why they were in a clean cup but that is part of the reason I have the heebie geebies today. Grant informed me that all the girls at the orphanage have lice. So I've been contemplating that one. Today the nurse at school told me she has been getting a lot of cases of this bug that crawls deep under your skin and it gets really infected and they lay eggs and you have to dig out the bug and it's eggs. I saw a girl come in with one under her skin on her forehead After coming back from Los Espejillos Emily had a tick on her that she said she wouldn't have noticed until she saw it move :( My students told me today about worms that like to crawl into your feet here and lay eggs. They said they are very hard to extract from your feet especially once the eggs hatch. Two days ago I went to take a shower and there was a frog and a black worm both in the shower. My skin crawls and itches all the time now. Ring worm is common here. I'm not a hypochondriac with diseases but with creatures that infect the body I'm pretty close to one.
