OUCH
by Jenc Thu Jul 21 2016, 20:32
I don't know about anywhere else but we seem to have an abundance of horseflies round here at the moment & they are huge!!!!! Trouble is they keep getting me 
Had a bite just above my elbow last week 
Looked like I had 2 elbows on 1 arm Yesterday 1 got my leg just above the knee, this morning I could hardly walk as it is swollen & the muscle is so tight!! I don't know what they inject but its bloody painful
I know Marmite eating keeps midges off me but what to eat for them I don't know

Yes Bek, big bitey flies not like normal flies!! Trouble is you don't feel them land on you but you certainly feel them bite

Ouch, I know they get me all the time. I get about 3 or 4 bites a day, they love me. I have found something good to stop them itching. Aldi Aloe Vera hand sanitizer, it really works.
