Why not apply some DDT while your at it? Some other banned insecticides and pesticides perhaps? In the web of life everything is interconnected...

Those millipedes must like to get into shoes. I was getting out of my tent to piss and slipped my bare foot into my shoe (whoa, I just realized it was also a Montrail). I felt the squishy bugger on the bottom of my foot and jerked my foot out. Luckily I didn't get zapped.

I once saw a black scorpion attempt to crawl into my shoe at the South Clear Creek area of Obed. I had no idea that there were scorpions in Tennessee! Has anybody else ever heard of there being scorpions in the eastern US?

Those things are no joke!
A friend of mine in Hawaii was stung once while getting in bed (hummm, with his wife, no with me) and got bit... He felt a sharp pain, but claims it went away soon thereafter (after the cognac).
A last minute call to the bathroom got him stung AGAIN that same evening.
When telling me the story, they were both laughing, and telling me how he had to be rushed to the hospital - completely puffed-up all over his entire body.
Strange reaction, I don't know, but the moral: don't get bit more than once by these things.
Speedy recovery to you Rick.
