There were lots of orchids in flower at the nursery. 

This is the DEET.

I understood that we would not go to Oxapampa (1800m, 5906f) if we would return to Tarma now, as Oxapampa is 3-4 hours’ drive away from San Ramón.  I decided to visit the nursery in San Ramón on our way back to Tarma.

When we got off the car, we immediately noticed the warmer temperature and humidity.  Saul suggested I should use the insect repellent, so I immediately took a DEET from my pocket and used it.  The DEET was developped by the United States Army during the World War II.  DEET 100% will melt plastics.  It seems very dangerous chemical.  The one I used was DEET 50%, but while I was using, my hands became slimy.  I must have touched some plastics.

This photograph is one with a butterfly in the nursery.

I must have felt something wrong, so that I slept with my clothes on, like when I used to do so in the mountains. 

I jumped up in the early morning when I noticed I was bitten by insects in my back.  I was bitten 15 times!  “I can’t stand this!”  I decided to escape back to Tarma in 3070m.
