This is not to scare anybody but just to make you aware of one of these lesser known dangers. Otherwise keep enjoying the great outdoor paradise we have here.

Hmm..yes, I've read about these before. Fortunately I live in Melbourne, but I might travel... I'm glad they give detailed instructions on how to treat it successfully. The last time I read about it they said there is pretty much nothing one can do.
