Saltwater swamps. Everything is hostile but the good news is you won’t starve. Make a fire. Find a termite nest and tinder. Eat something. Fish, infested with parasites Eels, discharge 500 volts or more Piranhas, present in the Orinoco Birds, cunning Snakes, tasty Protect yourself against high tide (also crocodiles, water snakes, electric catfish chigoe and centipedes mosquitoes and leeches dysentery, botflies, parasitic fungus and the candiru, which will swim up a urethra given the chance) Don’t: Forget decay is rapid monkeys shit in the water the candiru has a dorsal spine Don’t: Think about dry socks clean teeth hot coffee In all cases, remember: boil the water cover your genitals leeches will fall off when they’re ready.
