Yes, that's what I meant sorry about that.
I'm happy to report they have significantly improved *deep breath* "phew..."

I am strongly starting to suspect horseflys Might stop by the garden store and take some garlic tabs and see if we can get that taken care of

Gosh i thought you realy meant a Snake
Glad they are getting better.
If i get bit by a horsefly it always turns nasty but usualy antihistamenes sort it out. It can make you feel quite off though

Re: Hives


Horseflies are horrid. We also get a cattle fly, sometimes called a Clegg which has a nasty bite.

Glad your bites are getting better Tink.

Re: Hives


Good to see the problem resolved without need for meds from the doc. Over the counter remedies are often effective but I'm worried about your access to medical help Tink, can you get insurance or is this a problem, Sorry, nosey question. Feel free to ignore
