Ah...if only I'd seen this post when I was a little girl...Maybe it would have cured me of my Japan obsession...Now it's too late...
I've spent a long time ignoring the possibility of bugs existing in Japan but...those hornet things a seriously scary....Are they numerous? And for the centepede and hornet stings that are poisonous, is death unavoidable or is there a time limit to get to the hospital? What about lyme disease, is it cureable?
