You have a day off and!!!

[Waspie]

SWMBO decreed yesterday was a day away. So car packed and off we went, pooch in tow!
Then some loony outdoor insect creature has a nibble and my left knee is swollen!! Left ankle has too to a minor degree.
I suspect the dreaded Blandford fly!! I had a massive reaction 30 odd years ago when I had 6 or 7 nibble me on a survival course and every time I get a bite - bang - reaction time!!
Last time I go out this year!!! [COLOR=rgb(163, 143, 132)](Unless SWMBO say different!!)[/COLOR]

That's not a good start Doug!
We were away the other week and had been recommended Smidge.
Now I recommend Smidge to you, it works mate...

[Waspie]

Cheers Lee.
After my first encounter all those years ago, I did a States visit. Someone recommended a spray called ‘Off’. Nice orange smell and it worked. So much so I bought a few tins and brought them home. Lasted ages, sadly ran out and not available over here!!
I’ll get some’Smidge’, see how I get on.
A small red dot yesterday is the size of an orange today, luckily only a wee bit of swelling.

Take a hay fever pill, it may help the damp down the immune reaction Doug.

SWMBO made take an anti-histamine pill earlier. Not quite as ‘nippy’ as it was about an hour or so ago.

Does your leg taste like chicken!

[JayCee]

I feel sorry for you walking buffets. I never get bitten. The wee beasties eat everyone around me but give me a wide berth. The doc said it's something in my genes, but I wear shorts in summer! :smiling: .

If I go out into the wilds I always take my protection - the wife - for some reason they love the taste of her, and it keeps them off me....
