We have a student in our department from Ecuador who has an interest
in ethnoentomology - the use of insects for medicinal or shamanistic
purposes by native peoples.  She has funding for field work in Amazonia
in summer '92.  The subject is rather far afield for me, and I have not
been able to be helpful to her.  Though it may also be far afield for most
bee-l'ers, I thought I'd ask.  Any leads to either literature or to persons
with an active interest in ethnoentomology?
 
Many thanks,
