Somewhere In The Ether…

I walked my pooch down the lovely local woods here at the weekend.

The sun was shining, the birds were singing and all was right with the world.

…..until I got back and started itching….I mean, REALLY itching.

I had been bloody well vampirised by fleas (or something!) At least three sodding great big raised bites on my legs!

Good folks: What has bitten you this year? How many bites have you sported at once?

There’s a prize of some soothing ointment and of course the awesome bragging rights for the most bites sustained.

In fact, all things bite related; prey do share your heartwarming stories here please

Careful it’s not from Ticks : they can get infected! Use antiseptic cream would be my advice

Get some good quality aloe Vera gel on them and an anti histamine.

I'm preparing myself to be devoured by the mosquito in Cyprus in a few weeks time.

I took a bite on the finger from a big horsefly. It swelled up that much, I was unable to bend it or clench a fist to grip anything.

I didn’t even flatten the offending mini beast either, thus adding to my already vexed state.

I’ve heard many a horror story regarding Tick bites (Lymes disease etc)

They’re some particularly ghastly looking critters up close, under a microscope to

May I wish you sincerely not to be bitten….but if you do, don’t forget to report back here for a chance of claiming the converted ‘Most bites’ crown

That sounds like one of those so called Vampire Horseflies from the continent that the press have been talking about so much this year.

They apparently bite bigger, more painfully and are far more likely to cause infection than the regular kind we have previously been used to

Next time I see him, I’m gonna bust his ass up with a slightly soiled n soggy copy of Razzle readers wives from 1984.

The best tip I can give for a horsefly attack is to actually allow them to just settle on you before slapping them dead (but be quick - before they bite!) - they won’t be able to bother you again obviously and you may subsequently pat yourself on the back in the altruistic knowledge that you have saved all those around you

We were in North Wales a couple months back and we were bitten to death by horseflies - they were rife on all the forestry walks...

Normal vinegar will neutralise the sting - just use a cotton pad and keep it on for a couple minutes... if you can't stand the smell, get yourself some tea tree oil

Was on Vancouver Island last Autumn bear watching and got hammered by little buggers they call “noseeums” hands were covered in lumps. The lodge had some great stuff that you applied like a roll on deodorant. Majored on aloe with other stuff to address the acidity of the bite

Harvest mites (not mice I would much rather them), evil little biters. Nearly microscopic relatives of ticks that use an enzymatic attack on the skin cells.

Deer tics that carry Lymes disease, if you get a tic try and remove without squeezing as it is their saliva which carries the disease, squeezing forces the them to regurgitate into your blood stream. Keep an eye on the bite, if you get a bullseye rash seek medical attention. Lymes disease is not the end if you catch it early enough with coursebof antibiotics.

I had been bloody well vampirised by fleas (or something!) At least three sodding great big raised bites on my legs!

There’s a prize of some soothing ointment and of course the awesome bragging rights for the most bites sustained.

In fact, all things bite related; prey do share your heartwarming stories here please "

Not been bitten at all this Year (Open to offers lol) but a few years back I found a Tick attached to me under my watchstrap in Wales, 1st time I'd ever seen one and without knowing how to remove it (or having a handy tool for it) I used a set of Needle-nosed Pliers.. Took a chunk of skin off with it but kept it soaked in Germoline for 3 Days and have had no issues since

The actual percentage of tics carrying the virus and cases is quite low. Although always important to be vigilant to any symptoms as left untreated can be serious- think certain social media posts and media how been caused unnecessary panic.

Difference between rasing awareness and all out panic.

The media do indeed so love stirring up a panic.

The headlines of ‘Killer spiders in the UK!’ relating to False Widows (which have been here for hundreds of years) spring to mind and seem only to serve an agenda to terrify us from entering our garden sheds
