I am gutted !! I have just spent two months convincing my boyfriend not to go to Africa for our holidays this year !! Mainly because of stories of hairy arachnids !! Yuck!! I obviously havent done my research too well as now we have a holiday booked to go to DR !!!! Are some areas worse than others ? Is there anything that I should look out for ???? Should I cancel my holidays ????

Panicked in London !!
