Group Tour: Day 5 - landscaping

TravelerResponse from AI: "Most likely: ∙ No-see-ums / Purrujas (biting midges) — extremely common in the Amazon, nearly invisible, cause exactly this pattern of widespread small bites ∙ Chigger mites — burrow in grass/vegetation, cause intensely itchy scattered bumps, very common in tropical environments ∙ Sand flies — similar tiny biting insects, common near water Less likely but possible: ∙ Contact dermatitis — from a plant or something brushed against in the jungle, but the discrete individual bump pattern argues against this Clues pointing to bites over rash: ∙ Discrete individual spots rather than confluent redness ∙ Bilateral and symmetric (both legs exposed equally) ∙ Both people affected the same way What to do: ∙ Hydrocortisone cream for itch/inflammation ∙ Oral antihistamine (Benadryl/cetirizine) helps significantly ∙ Avoid scratching to prevent secondary infection ∙ Should resolve within 1–2 weeks Worth seeing a doctor if they become pustular, warm, or spreading — tropical insect bites can occasionally transmit infections like leishmaniasis. I’m not a doctor — if symptoms worsen or you develop fever, seek medical attention."
