I have been bitten so much by every insect I think that there is in this country. I am covered in bites, on my arms, legs, face and chest. I am so itchy. I feel like screaming!!!
I nearly had a panic attack when out walking yesterday near the lakes, as I had hundreds of wasp type flies, attacking me and following me. They just would not leave me alone. It was horrible. The old farmer, near me, told me to put vinegar on me to stop the flies. I may try it, even if I will smell
Funny how dogs hate fans (or being blown on ) so much? One of lifes mysteries I guess.

I was hiking in the West Highlands last week and find the only way to cope with flies, cleggs, insects in general is to keep calm and carry on what youre doing. Dont rush about flapping your arms or stuuff like that cause itll just attract them even more. I still got a fair few bites mind you but nothing too bad this year

P.S. DONT scratch the bites, it will make them itch more.
