Welll.......duh! Never go in the jungle without one. d;o)

The jungles in Panama really are remarkable. Leaf cutter ants all
over the place, coatamundis, sloths, jaguarundis (and jaguars, tho I
never saw one), all the snakes you could ever want from boa
constrictors, to fer de lance and bushmasters, wasps that hide on the
underside of the leaves of one plant (found them the hard way), fire
ants that live in the hollow trunk and branches of a bush and attack
anything that touches the bush (also discovered the hard way), and
even caiman in Gatun Lake near National Geographic"s Boro Colorado
Island and howler monkeys that scare the hell out of me. Frank should
never go into the jungles of Panama (or any jungle, ftm).
