After I had mistakenly killed an Arapaima at Cuyabeno, Ecuador during my trip there early of the year....... While on my way back I met with a mishap, whereby I pricked my hand on a torny palm tree trunk........ There were 24 big and tiny torns pricked in my palm......., I had medical attention immediately..... Like the indeginous guide said, I was being punished for taking a forest life (Arapaima). This is the curse of the sacred jungle.......
