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.
