Every couple of years or so (it might have something to do with El Nino) there is a boom of these little beetle creatures called Nairobi flies. They look like red and black striped ants and seem too small to be dangerous, buuuut this is Africa. Nairobi flies, when squished, have acidic guts that actually burn the skin and can cause a lot of pain and make your skin blister up. Kelly accidentally smushed one on her cheek the other day though she wasn’t burned too badly. The secondary PE teacher, Will, on the other hand smushed one near his eye and couldn’t go to work for a few days it was soo bad. (These stupid creatures are really delicate you go to swipe it away and all you do is smear them) The other day Kelly and I killed three that were just hanging out in our bathroom. Not cool.
