Mark I was covered in midge bites after 3 weeks in Scotland, and that was after spraying the Skin So Soft from Avon over me. At the time my wifes cousin and hubby were up there too, we met them in Oban for a meal. Out of the 4 of us only I was bitten so I must have had the vitamins they needed and the other 3 was bad meat :O)

Hi Mark - We rarely come away from a trip without a few bites but you seem to have been a well and trully bitten!

Where did you go? Near us a few years ago was an insect called the "Blandford Fly" - if this bit you it caused major swelling and was very painful.

I think the council now controls its breading grounds.

I also read that a new, larger type of mosquito had managed to get accross the channel and that gave a nasty bite.

We use a stuff called Autan made by Bayer and that helps a lot.

Also citronella candles are good BUT there is a huge safety issue with these.

Hopes this helps - I personally love the autumn and the lack of "midges" is one of the reasons.

Yes, definately.

I am very allergic to all insect bites, and have found that this year the bities have all been particuarly vicious.

I have had to take several courses of antihistamines, the most recent from being attacked by a horsefly, ghastly things always draw blood.

I am one of these people who cannot stand being couped up with the windows closed, either at home or in the caravan. So I very often wake up with bites.(Maybe I should get some PJ's)...

 

[CliveV]

No don't spoil it for the rest of us Wendy - think what could happen if one of the midges got inside your PJ's !

 

[Wendy-Norfolk]

Oh God......I never thought of that!!! Lol

Well Wendy if you must sleep in the nuddy with your bum stuck up it the air it does make a nice target.

I feel I should make a comment here, but have tried several ways and they all make my sound like a peeping tom/dirty pervert, so I won't! Must get a new flash for my camera though..

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

Borrow my flash, and you can borrow my telephoto lens if you want. I'm a Pervessor of Pervology.

Other half says exactly the same thing!!!!

Probably 'cause he's got all the duvet and two thirds of the bed!!!

 

[Wendy-Norfolk]

Definatley no telephoto lens required here.....it sticks out like a sore bum!!

 

[Lol1]

Ok, I'm off to church, sudden need for confessions.

Damn that's another thread hijacked!

What sort of troll am I, the one with sticking up hair often found loitering in women's handbags or perhaps sat aside the top of a pencil? Or the sort in Lord Of The Rings, all mean and warty, with a big hammer and even bigger attitude?
