Bugs pray

Buddhists are renowned for their conviction to not harming living creatures - that is, for not hurting a fly ... or a mosquito! So Buddhist monks in Thailand may be very pleased with the work of a local fabric designer who is about to offer a new line of robes which are saffron-coloured and infused with herbal bug repellent. The robes will eventually be sold for export to other Asian countries - hopefully including the Philippines where mosquitos have been responsible for the spread of the sometimes fatal Dengue Fever.
