We did a 10 days hike in Crete recently.
One night we setup the tent in a sheep gracing field not too far from a settlement.
While the spot was really nice and I loved the constant bell jingle of the sheep, starting from this specific night, I got itchy bites all around the body, most of it where my night clothes are tight around the ankles, wrist and waist. Some more appeared anew every morning, and it took me some time to realise that there was some issue inside my sleeping clothes.
I never really saw one, but the only bug that came to my mind was fleas. Most likely I contracted them during a nightly excursion into the bushes.
From then on, I shook my clothes out very well some distance off the tent every morning and evening and finally no new bites came up.
My mate, sleeping in the same tent and doing all the same stuff than me, never got any bites.
Back home after the hike, I put the sleeping bag and the sleeping clothes inside the freezer for a few days, in order to kill any possible brood.
Just curious if anybody ever had similar issues on the trail?
