A friend who returned from the Camino on Thursday - and who served at Santo
Domingo de la Calzada's albergue where they had to close and fumigate a
couple of dorms - said that she bought Permethrin spray in Spain. She
walked the meseta when she left Santo Domingo and used it to spray on every
bunk she slept in. She also borrowed my anti bed-bug sheet and didn't have
one bite even though many were bitten badly around her.
