Poison

So I thought today I would share an experience I had this week in the deep depths of the Malaysian jungle.  So, it was just a regular Thursday, we rode our bikes out to this new area and started meeting people.  The place was off the main road and into a really full and dark jungle.  It was a really magical place actually, something you might see in a movie.  Anyway, we get into this lady's house and we are talking with her when all of a sudden she just stops and lets out a little scream.  Then she tells me not to move.  I am super confused and have no idea what’s going on.  Then my companion looks at me and freaks out, telling me not to move.  I see them both looking at my collar so I look down and this Caterpillar drops onto my lap.  They both freak out a little and I'm just confused again.  I'm thinking, Caterpillars are not that big of a deal, let’s not freak out.  Then she goes and tells me that it is highly poisonous and that would paralyze me and then give me a fever that would "boil my pee."  Anyway at that point I don't waste time flicking it off myself and then ushering it out the door.  So that was my encounter with the scary caterpillar.  So, life is never boring and something new is always happening!  Love you guys!
