Hi
I have been bitten three times by what looks like the same thing.
It is not a mosquito, the bite is bigger, red, itches like hell and the surrounding skin almost looks bruised. Wrist and back of knee. Ouch! Ouch!
I think I was attacked by something when out with the dog at night!
Any ideas? It has never happened before.
Cheers all

Re: Nasty Biting Beasties
Could it be a tiger mosquito. There bite is supposed to be 10 times worse than a normal mossy. I got bit lots this july and august and they are the worst bites I have ever seen. Huge swelling, itchy as hell and took 3 weeks to go.

These tiger mosquito, if it is they, don't even have the decency make a noise.
On the itching, I bought gel called Fenistel and that worked really well.

Theres alot of little black fly type things that are around at the mo.giving bites that are different to the typical mozzie ones. Prob them
Re: Nasty Biting Beasties
Horse fly would still be around at dusk and do a nasty bit. Also, could a spider have got caught in your clothing?
Witch hazel get can help with the irritation and itching, or OH finds that after-sun with aloe vera in it helps too!

Re: Nasty Biting Beasties
Been getting away with it for years until this milder summer. Walked around a marsh lake near Narbonne on the way down and they were frenzied. Between Valencia and here I could hear them thudding all over the vehicle and I was emptying the screenwash like billy-o. The roof box was like The Killing Fields. Nasty red swelling that looked like gout a few days later, in irritating areas like ankles, back of knee and inside of elbow. That baby colonia did a reasonable job of soothing and clearing it up for me.
