Re: The horrors of Summer


I end up with scarring when I get bitten. At the moment I have a bite on my leg that is like a raised spot. It just wont heal or go away..... the insects are getting more and more viscious!!

Ouch! You both look very sore

I'm very lucky, mozzies don't like my blood!

I guess Eddy, I and other mosquito prone people are lucky that we don't live in an area where they have vampire bats........

Re: The horrors of Summer


I hate mozzies and midgies but the worst bites i have had have been from clegs. Once I was camping on the west coast and came back with a map of the cairngorms on my face due to all the midgie bites

I am a mozzie feast as well .... I end up with huge bumps and itch like mad...... If you take Vitamin B12 its supposed to help your immune system fight against mozzie bites....
