red,angry,swollen,itchy bumps,courtesy of the dreaded Scottish MIDGE fly.

i have no idea why this tiny little [*bleep*] picks on me every August,some folk don't get bitten or react at all.

these "spots" could easily last 2 weeks or so.did not get much sleep last night.

i have 1/2 a jar of cream on at the moment and will use the other 1/2 tonight before sliding into bed to dream of the blessed winter

Sorry it must be horrible I hate being bitten nothing worse than an itch that doesn't go away.

Hi Saltire
You could try some brewers yeast in some juice
Its really high in natural B vitamins and bugs dont like the smell of you. I use it for my dogs as it repels fleas too. I know vegemite here has high B(made from yeast extract) but not sure about bovril in UK.
Best of luck!

Isn't there anyway to fix the screens and keep them out of the house? Ether that or keep all the windows closed.
