robmiller Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Back home now. Which is good. Swellings gone down but got some sort of blood poisoning. I think i am going to try the natural remedies, one with citronella is supposed to be a good one. Clegs seem to like me around water, lakes and rivers. Thats where i picked these ******* up. I was in barley, and as it was whisping my hands i obv didnt feel it. I also need to find a good pair of gloves. Fingerless but with some sort of grip on them. Anyone know of any?

malkiserow Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I use tigerbalm for when I do get a bite, it works very well. I now keep a small pot of it in my shooting seat/tub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browning123 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I am also allergic to Horse Fly bites, ending up in A&E numerous times with hands swelling etc. I was once bitten on the hand and the next morning there was a red line travelling up my arm in the blood stream - resulting in a course of injections. I now use a great repellent "Nosquito" Extra Strength Insect Repellent Spray made by Craghoppers, I purchased it from a Mountainlife outlet shop. You can also buy it on line from the Mountainlife site. Its great because it lasts upto 6 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
