Salt crystals and rabies

"Why doesn't everybody have a salt crystal stick deodorant?"

Yep, that's the question I asked myself as I stared at my new stick this morning. Sure, they are fragile! As I learned the other week when I dropped my previous one on our tiled bathroom floor, but with careful use a single salt crystal will last years...so, they are "green". The natural antibacterial approach really works and, as any of my camping buddies will testify, I can be a sweaty smelly bastard. Of course you still have to choose if you want to enhance your natural pheromones with a perfume, but that's really optional.

Enough rambling. Yesterday we got the first of our 3 rabies injections. The first of the last immunisations. Lute and I procrastinated quite a while over the decision to get these but in the end risk aversion prevailed. The chance of one of us getting bitten by a rabid dog or monkey in the back blocks of Nepal or India is unlikely but if it did happen it would cause some serious stress...something we can do without!

Phew, its steamy here today....
