&&&¨¨¨¨&&& IMAGINE IF YOU WILL, A LUSH BLUEBERRY ¨&&&&&&¨¨&
¨¨¨&¨¨¨&¨¨ SPRUCE FOREST, WITH ROLLING HILLS AND &&¨¨¨¨¨&¨&
&¨¨&&¨¨&&¨ KNEE-DEEP UNDERBRUSH. ¨¨&¨¨¨¨&&&
¨&¨&¨&¨&¨& &¨&&¨¨¨&¨¨
¨&&&&&&&&& THE GROUND IS SOFT. LEAVES IN ALL OF &&&¨&¨¨&&¨
¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ THE SEVEN STAGES OF DECOMPOSITION ARE &¨¨&&&¨&¨&
&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ PACKED LOOSELY TOGETHER... SOMETIMES ¨&¨&¨¨&&&&
¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨ THERE ARE ROCKS. BIGGER BOULDERS PEEK ¨&&&&¨&¨¨¨
¨¨¨&&¨¨¨¨¨ OUT OF THE HILLS. &&¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨¨¨&¨&¨¨¨¨ ¨¨&¨¨&¨¨&¨
¨¨¨&&&&¨¨¨ THERE COULD BE, SOMEWHERE IN THE DEPTHS ¨¨&&¨&&¨&&
&¨¨&¨¨¨&¨¨ OF IT ALL, A CREVICE FILLED WITH WATER. ¨¨&¨&&¨&&¨
&&¨&&¨¨&&¨ BIRD CHERRIES AT THE EDGES, DIPPING ¨¨&&&¨&&¨&
¨¨&&¨&¨&¨& THEIR LONG FINGERS BENEATH THE SURFACE. ¨¨&¨¨&&¨&&
&¨&¨&&&&&& WATER LILIES, MAYBE. THE WATER IS &¨&&¨&¨&&¨
&&&&&¨¨¨¨¨ YELLOW-GREEN WITH POLLEN, AND INSECTS &&&¨&&&&¨&
¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨ ARE SWARMING ABOVE THE SURFACE. ¨¨¨&&¨¨¨&&
&¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨ &¨¨&¨&¨¨&¨
&&¨¨¨&¨&¨¨ WATER STRIDERS, MOSQUITOS, &&¨&&&&¨&&
¨¨&¨¨&&&&¨ BACK FLIES, CRANE FLIES. &¨&&¨¨¨&&¨

&¨¨&¨¨¨&¨& IN THIS CASE WE WOULD USE DEET, &&&&&&&&&¨
&&¨&&¨¨&&& OR DIETHYLTOLUAMIDE AS IT'S ALSO CALLED. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
¨¨&&¨&¨&¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
&¨&¨&&&&&¨ DEET SHOULD BE APPLIED TO YOUR SKIN. &¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
¨&&&&¨¨¨¨& YOU SHOULD COVER ALL SKIN THAT IS TO BE &&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
&&¨¨¨&¨¨¨& EXPOSED TO AIR. IT'S OK TO GET SOME IN ¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨&
¨¨&¨¨&&¨¨& THE EYES. RUB UNTIL IT FEELS RIGHT, ¨¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&
&¨&&¨&¨&¨& UNTIL THE SKIN FEELS GOOD. LET IT SOAK ¨¨&¨&¨¨¨¨&
¨&&¨&&&&&& IN. &¨&&&&¨¨¨&
&&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨ ¨&&¨¨¨&¨¨&
¨¨&&¨&¨¨¨¨ YOU'VE NOW BECOME POISONOUS. ¨&¨&¨¨&&¨&
