Flies In Your Eyes

Orr in Catch 22 had it right. Flies in your eyes.

Except he forgot to mention your mouth...nose...ears...hair....pants. Flies are literally EVERYWHERE. I've never seen anything like it. In swarms, they appear out of nowhere and just engulf you. Your only hope is to close your eyes and swat your hands like a madman; hopefully you remain on path and escape the 4^th Egyptian Plague sequel.

Nasty, magnified visual of the culprit.

 The locals tell me the flies show up just prior to the rainy season. In it's own twisted way, these flies are a good thing.

No, my camera lens was not dirty. SWARMS!

I'll tell you one thing about these bugs, they are the dumbest insects. They fly with no direction and once they bump into something, they're dead. With that, floors become blanketed and fly-drifts appear in corners. The nurses station in the morning is covered. Everything that could contain a fly, contains multitudes of them.

If the same proverbial phrase of eating a pound of dirt before you die applies, I am far ahead of schedule. 

My fear. Just picked up and carried away into Lake Victoria.
