Yea I talked to a few people that have been there before and they have all told me not to slap at a bug that's on me but to blow it off instead. They said that theres some kind of bug over there that has some kind of acid in it's system and if you smash it on you the acid can actually eat through your skin. One guy showed me some pretty nasty scars that he got while in West Africa and he said that that's what it's from.
