what has bit me?

[Rabbithunter 456]

Been itching for a few days at the ole leg. Just assumed it was a normal midge bite. But noticed last night, it has turned into what looks like a bruise.

 

However, it is not a bruise as such, just a pain-free colouring..

 

I dont normally take photographs of myself, but have a look at this, anyone any ideas on what has bitten me? Maybe, a grass tick?

 

 

And, yes, I know i need a sun-tan

just check its not been a tick bite, they seem to be out quite early this year.

 

colouration on a bite like that if it were tick might be an indication of possible lyme's disease - knew a stalker in argyle who got it, not fun (little f****r bit him on his guishe)

its probably not, and you'll probably know if you have been in an area with ticks about but it might be worth checking out.

but then don't trust me i'm a yorkshireman not a sdding doctor afterall.

I was just thinking today about possible lyme's?

 

Ticks, are out, i've had a few on the dawgs. So yes, i have been in places with ticks

 

im at the quacks on wednesday to get some stitchs removed, so i might just ask for his opinion

dont wory mate we all get bites at this time of year. but looking at it i nwould say its a bite from a lesser stiped wood hen bug.

my mate had a bite from one last year, ok for two days then he died. very toxic mate.

I've loads of bites on my body, but none, except that one, have shown up like that

You normaly can tell a tick bite, they leave their head in if not removed proplerly, we have ahd a plague of them last few years due to mild winters. Maybe horse fly, or maybe a nasty flea could have been on some thing dodgy before it started eating you. Good idea to get it checked if ya going to doc's anyway.

If you having stitches out are ya on medication ? That could combine with a bite and cause the reaction. Only guessing though mate I not a quack too but have had some weird and wonderful bites myself.

Been bit me self recently, and never had a reaction but this one itched and come up like a puss heah squeezed it and only clear fluid come out, so started to look up on the web what can you do or take naturally to stop mozzie's, found a site said rub vinegar on skin, probably a bit like which hazel ease's swelling and must sterialise a little, also said drink 2 table spoons of vinegar, apparently comes out when you sweat and stop mozzie's and the like, so next time i'm going out on a rummage i'll put it to the test drink it mid day to give it time to get in and out of me sysem,any one got any other thought's on natural repellents like alchol, garlic.

Alcohol works really well, you need to drink between 6 and 12 pints, and it seems to stop the itching .

I used to do the vinegar drinking when I lived in holland, table spoon a day and seemed to work with mozzies, you have to keep at it though and soon get used to it, got told this by a dutch guy in the early 's, think it does turn ya sweat acidic so stops em coming near ya. Its the only thing I have tried that works. Rubbing lemon over yaself just makes ya sticky an horrible, rather get bitten than that one
