[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2400645, member: 521172"] Thank you for that. Do you know I never even considered cellulitis so just spoken to the Urgent Care Practitioner at the surgery and it is an infection and she has prescribed me antibiotics after I sent pictures of my leg through! (Never thought I would be doing that!) Obviously have recovered in the past but the itching tends to go on for quite a while and I always end up with scarring due to the bites. Jungle Juice has always been pretty good but I think I went for a cheaper one last time as JJ was a tenner a pop. GP suggested getting some hydro cortisone cream for the kitchen cupboard as well. I can walk through woods without any problem, it's always the golf course, but very rare to happen in the afternoon, it's usually twilight that's the problem. Update - Interesting situation when I went to collect my anti biotics. The lady behind the counter in basic chat about insect bites, asked if I was diabetic. Turns out she is too and she suffers "exactly" the same reaction to bites that I do. Bot sure if being diabetic leads us open to worse infection in stuff like this but the symptoms she has were exactly the same. [/QUOTE]
