Rick_D member Registered: 01/06/02 Posts: 2939 Loc: NorCal	Hard to imagine what bug it could conceivably be, but washing them in some RID shampoo should knock out any critters. Could also stress them by putting the socks in the freezer for a day and maybe microwaving them. Even leaving them in the sun a couple days might help. Simulate a Mars mission.
