Insect bites

[Ronnie the Rep]

Right. I wonder what happened to Ronnie and his little dog.

I’m still here and so is Daisy the dog. We’re both a little bit older though

Used to use this stuff when fishing the Ebro in Spain. Brilliant stuff. I think it's available here. Kills mossies, black flies and all manner of flying nasty bastards.

Those horrible little black flies are something else, far worse than mosquito bites. They savaged me a few years ago whilst i was cooking a BBQ in the Ebro valley. My fishing guide sent me to the village chemist for honey cream to reduce the swelling and relieve the pain, and i was in pain! I must have been bitten well over 100 times and(at first) I didn't feel a thing. I was in absolute agony the next day though and felt rough as fuck from the poison they inject!

With your recommendation I'll definitely be buying some of that, mate. Thanks.

They put wifey in hospital. She went to the pharmacists for some ' cream...' and they said NO, hospital. She actually fainted in the car. We had to deal with the fuckers on a daily basis just mowing and strimming but they didn't affect the locals. One farmer showed me a bush and told me to rub the leaves over exposed skin...it worked a treat. They seemed to go for lighter coloured skin as well as the usual carbon dioxide in breath. The bastards dont inject like a mosquito they rasp the skin away and as you say you dont realise until blood's pouring out and scars last for months. Infestations have been known to kill livestock. Google Mosca Negra.....The bush doesn't grow over here.

I'm not surprised the pharmacists recommended hospital, total nasty bastards. And the black flies are no better; )

Joking apart, I'll get some of that Halley insect repellent.

I'm just reading a novel about DPs in camps in Bavaria post-WWII. It seems they liberally dowsed them in DDT.

In Munich for 4 years and I can tell you thems savage buggers down there. IKEA sold mosquito nets over there and we had one. About them going after certain types, two mates came over, we all went out on the lash and practically passed out, them two on camp beds in same room, one had no bites, the other 33 including one on his eye lid.
