Hi All
 
David, you mentioned bees collecting sweat of your arms. In southern
and central africa in the range of trigona (stingless bees) this
phenomenon can be quite commonplace with clouds of trigona landing on
ones face and being quite a pest - people even use a special brand of
mosquito repelant with sunblock in it to drive them away. (The
sunblock is just so one has only one bottle to carry around not two)
 
The guy I heard this from worked on a road project cutting bush - he
later had  to stop due to poisoning from euphorbeacious plants. This
was in the Natal-Kwazulu region around  Durban - ie sub-tropical.
 
Keep well
