Stonepark Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Wandering mosquito or clegg, trying to get a capillary. vampire bats cut a small flap of skin and lick up blood, and do not contrary to myth sink their teeth in and suck.

ShootingEgg Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Im guessing insect bites that you may of scratched. They have scabbed and wont ****** off. I have two mosquito bites on my arm from two weeks back, still a little red and can see where the little **** stabbed into me... If they are not causing you crazy pain, id say anti histamine cream them bad boys up and dont scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Some years ago I got bitten twice on the arm by horse flies I had to brush them off as they would not let go and I had two sore red and very itchy spots on my arm for weeks. Looking on the bad side you have not been and got some of these have you. Edited May 30, 2016 by four-wheel-drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I think spider too as felt two distinct bites inside my fleece sleeve. Didn't think anymore about it at the time other than giving the spot a good slap, never found the culprit? Fleece had been thrown over a wood pile prior to this. Have known the joy of being bitten by a horse fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyRich Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 horse flies are savage. They used to be rife around the yard at a previous job. Constantly getting bitten by the damned things.Always seem to bring me up in massive painful lumps. Amazing how things so small can be such a massive pain in the **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Mozzies on the marsh that come off still and stagnant water bring me up in huge lumps. Yet other Mozzies are nothing compared,would hate to think a spider was biting me in my sleeve. The U.K. Is now host to all kinds of nasties that bite get it checked out by your GP.

old man Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Had them about a month now, very interesting? At one stage a week ago I could see down into my arm about 2mm through the puncture wounds sealed with transparent plugs. The circular wounds were so uniform they could have been punched out.
