Think I will have to start wearing one of those plastic noses when I walk Chloe

Re: Insect bites
I too have always been a gourmet meal for mosquitoes, I swear they have mobile phones because no matter where in the world we“ve been they are waiting for me when I step off the plane. Even here I cover myself in repellent but they still manage to find the bits I missed. Mr Clumsy never reacts to bites but he got malaria 3 times when we lived in Kenya, a different strain each time. He couldn“t understand it because he said he never got bitten, obviously he did ! The doctors there used to give talks now and then about malaria prevention and evidently the bites around the ankles and feet are the worst. Right now I have just developed a nice itchy lump on my elbow...........I think everything that flies has teeth these days !

Yes, that nearly happened to hubby the other day but he managed to escape in time! May not be so lucky next time.

Re: Insect bites
My present count is...5 on my left leg, 1 on the right, and 1 just going on left elbow. Problem is because it is so hot I am wearing shorts at the allotment and don't have any repellent at home. Spose I'd better buy some then.Using a cheap bite and sting relief roll on, that sometimes helps.
Saw one chap down there yesterday and his legs are covered in huge bites!

Re: Insect bites
My son doesn't usually get bitten(by insects!)but whilst out on a run the other evening they really had a go at him.The bites came up with a raised ring around the puncture hole.They were really painful,the GP said he had bitten by Blandford flies.Never heard of the blighters before.

I've got two small bites on my forehead, not sure if they're flea bites as they're itching
