Deer flies. Who knew? I sure hope you don’t get any more bites from those pesky things!
A friend was at a music festival a few summers ago and walked through one of those clouds of gnats. She said that she could feel something biting her waist & figured that some had gotten in her shirt. The next day she had quarter sized whelps and a spreading red rash. She also ended up at the ER and was admitted for several days on IV antibiotics!!!Just an fyi - I got stung by a wasp a few years ago. After like 2 days I went to urgent care - the swelling, though not like yours, continued to expand.
I ended up on IV antibiotics for 5 days. They told me if I’d waited another day they would have hospitalized me.
Be careful out there.
Wow. You’re right. I usually think of things like that! Growing up in the Midwest I always had bites - mosquitoes, chiggers, no seeums, ants - they all loved me . But never had a bad reaction just itched.having been nearly eaten alive by gnats, mosquitoes and no-see-ums my entire childhood... gotta wonder what's new & different about the bugs today????? Or has something changed in us???
GMO and round up ready crops. The insects are turning into super insects and are resistant to poisons. Dirty little secret, look it up. That is if you can get past the 447 pages of glowing reports of round up and GMOs... having been nearly eaten alive by gnats, mosquitoes and no-see-ums my entire childhood... gotta wonder what's new & different about the bugs today?????

Hate the clouds of no-see-ums. If you are tasty to mosquitos, take daily Vitamin B. For some reason daily doses of Vitamin B seems to make you less desirable to mosquitoes. Works for fleas too.having been nearly eaten alive by gnats, mosquitoes and no-see-ums my entire childhood...
I totally believe that. People just don't "get it". Ya' know -- as a kid I always listened to the Farm Report (Orion Samuelson) and for the life of me I could not understand why Monsanto was the main sponsor/advertiser/whatever. It just didn't make sense even when I was a kid -- Monsanto = chemicals, carpet, etc. Not food or seeds. I mean really was wasn't John Deere a big sponsor??! ? WHY didn't other people think the same?? Too busy to bother?? That was way way way long before computers let alone internet.GMO and round up ready crops.
