I have never got so many bites on my legs before than I have this
Christmas period and I can only assume they are gnat bites, nasty ones
at that! It's not the time of year you would expect to get them either.
We have no pets so I don't think it's fleas, but then they are normally
a lot smaller bites. Could they be anything else?


Have you thought of wearing trousers....?


It could be horseflies, they give a very nasty bite.
