¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨& 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. &&¨&&&¨¨¨&
