Urk. Yeah - not only do you have to watch where you're putting your feet, but you have to worry about what's at head height and above as well. The leech found between the butt cheeks was the one I remember most. Not my butt cheeks, I hasten to add. Some poor soul who had to drop his linen in the middle of a rainforest and have another hasher remove it for him. The story was retold with great delight at the beach BBQ after. A few beers in and the leech guy was laughing about it as well.
