despite her injuries, Juliane hacked her way through the rainforest. She frequently head planes overhead, but she had no way to signal them . She drank water, but she was too stunned to eat anything at all. On the tenth day, she stumbled onto a canoe and hut,where she was found hours later by Peruvian lumberman. They tried to treat her injuries. One of them used salt and kerosene to clean out the insects that were buried in her skin. Juliane counted thirty-five worms that came out of her arms alone. The following day she was taken on a seven-hour journey by canoe down the river to town, where a local pilot flew her to her father.
