That will be the lesser spotted drop bag nit! or something like that but i've heard of rats living in them. I find more aliens in the creases of a packet shroud though. :Sick

Think yourself lucky we don't use the hessian bags anymore, they use to stink and be covered in fleas. We occassionally have locusts and crickets hopping around the floor when the packaging they are in burst.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

:sad: Yes--I used to deliver live insects, and got bitten! Also picked up scabies from a dirty workmate! And yes, report it. You could have suffered an allergic reaction. Personally, R/M should refuse to deliver live cargo!
