Preface:
Dear readers, (Politically correct as it should be)
now and then I will publish the texts are less concerned with our journey, but beschaefftigen more with life in New Zealand. These are based on this simple observation or past experience to bring you the "Kiwi's" and their way of life as to bring a bit closer. This first part is dedicated to an animal that fits on a photo, made vain attempts failed. It should also serve as a warning and clarification, for those who should dare to take on this beast. Dear readers, I can reassure them yet, still no one was eaten, probably! But read yourself ..
These are the beasts that come straight from hell could. The mean, and mean furchterregnde SANDFLIE in German or sand fly! Who's laughing now, do not know what he has to do it. A dragon and monster of the same size as our pesky fruit flies. But this one is a vampire, in the truest sense of the word. It bites and I do not mean to stand. This is what loser for mosquitoes, NO is the common Sandflie with stand not to peace, that would be below their level. Believe it or not, but the bite does also hurt a little, he never stays unnoticed. But unfortunately it is already too late for everything. A little tweaking and TAATAAA the blood-sucker has struck again. Well, and to make matters worse, it leaves this cowardly sneak attack his tracks. From now adorns red dot the place of the attack. Nothing for the faint of heart. In an allergic reaction, the whole thing ends and you are ugly uebeseht of swelling. And if you believe that already was all wrong. The worst is yet to come. It itches AFRAID! Not to compare with the itch our local Muecke and who scraped (which can not be avoided), it makes it worse. A vicious circle begins. Dear readers, I've probably now a little scared and that was my intention, but there is hope. In my research and self-tests, so I sacrificed myself for humanity, I'm more came by coincidence the solution, as offered to stand up to these voracious bastard. There is of exactly 2 Komponeten. An effective only here erhaeltiches OFF insect spray and the taking of Cetirizine, all Heuschnupfgeplagten will look familiar, are the weapons to the situation under control. The spray is designed to prevent the common bite, but as just the way it is with sprays, which have as their pitfalls. Best tip: Never spray against the wind, it burns terribly in the eyes! (No, of course, that does not happen to me) Another problem is the meeting of all exposed skin areas. Here it can schonmal come to a so-called spot distribution. Very bad for you, good for the fly. But would have to cover 100% of the areas you have to bathe in the stuff. So even happens to the full-time professional, he caught not even a job and then it happened. BITE! The fly must be recognized even with high precession which it conducts its full day's work. Now Komponete 2 comes into play. The funny histamine Cetirizine is good not only against the symptoms of hay fever, no, it has also been shown to be very effective against the "inevitable" itching, which is now no longer felt. After countless attempts and self-bitten lower arms, decorated with ugly little red spots which I will for months with rumschleppen well, I got the secret to the track. Most people have probably already guessed, who works so slyly must be a woman! True, only the females bite to it, because we did it again! It should be said that this Critters on the South Island are much bigger, which does not make them less dangerous, but more aggressive. Legends tell of deep droves in the south, which I will get to the bottom. As you can see again here is not all nice What gleams. In this sense ...
