I got bitten something terrible in Abu Dhabi last May. They were horrendous, came up really bad. I even got bit on my face which has never happened before.
I was bitten this may as well on the west coast. I’ve actually bought some spray on insect repellent and plug ins for the room for when we go to Florida in a fortnight as I’m fed up with it. |

I was bitten quite badly on Friday evening (UK) they’ve only just appeared today but have been itching since Friday. They’re suddenly huge big angry bites.OH has some too also from Friday. One of his is massive and looks particularly gross and weepy 🤮
We’ve just taken antihistamines so hopefully that might help. How weird that they’re only just showing up today

I've got two huge horsefly bites at the top on my thigh. The little beggars must have gone up my shorts leg. Thigh is really swollen, bright red and hard. I think I might need a trip to the chemists.😢

I have had this quite a lot in the past where I have had horsefly bites which have resulted in cellulitis. Sadly the pharmacy weren't able to do anything, other than offer anti histamines and cream, and I have had to go to the doctors instead to get antibiotics. If the redness is spreading and its getting increasingly painful, I would definitely go to someone who is able to write prescriptions (for some reason I thought the pharmacist could, but they said they couldn't help...). I think infected bites is about the only reason I ever go to the doctors these days..!

I do this and it seems to help a lot, no prevention tricks as they seems to love my skin

I work in a pharmacy in the West. We had 16 people with horsefly bites in TODAY - SIXTEEN - TODAY!
ALL of which were infected, sent to the doctor/walk in clinic and returned with prescriptions for antibiotics. Pharmacist was a locum and was getting a bit "Do you always have this many queries..?" He was run off his feet poor chap. |
