Haha there you go SteveA that's about how big the bite feels!... For days after.

 

Is that a picture off of the net? or did you Photoshop it?

I've been bit by a few of those today as well - ruddy things.

Normally spread a bit of Anthisan on, seems to work well for a wide range of insecty bites.

May sound daft but try Avon Skin so soft, bloody brilliant, I use it all the time on the Broads.

 

Keeps your rufty tufty skin in good nick to, and good for beards. Google it, has hundreds of other uses.

Doesn't work for me , even midges laugh at that stuff and hardcore horseflies are attracted to it , you do get to smell like a hookers handbag though .

Diluted detol works a treat, nothing that bites will come anywhere near you. Keep some with you in a handyspray.

I've got 6 bits on me at the moment. One that's on my left shoulder and has swollen up so much I resemble quasimodo. They are a nightmare this time of year.

Bet it worked great though

 

Nothing comes close...
