Bug bite help?

[Macaroon]

I've had many years of misery with the bitey ones - in all their many varieties - but for the past three years I've been using the Stupidly Simple oil I've had two bites, both of which were on my left hand where you're not going to able to keep anything on the skin for long. I can't recommend the stuff highly enough, wouldn't be without it.

No commection, yadda yadda..................................

Have been very happy with my stupidly simple in the past but not sure how the oil works?
My legs are the worst so would be great t get something I can wash into clothes.
Counted 20 bites now ranging from my chest down to my ankles. I would have to bath in something if they got past my clothing.

Maybe just a reaction to midge bites. Ticks tend to hang on until they have there fill, Horsefly, you would feel the bite.

As someone who has had a few spider bites, I disagree. Also, many alleged spider bites are actually just guesses, along the lines of: found a bite mark, remember seeing a spider, must be a spider bite. This happens a lot with venomous spiders being blamed for any unaccounted for mark.

However, since we don't know what this is, anything is possible, and the advice to get it checked by a doctor is good advice.

Cant tell from the pictures either but I was working in the garden wearing shorts felt something on my leg looked down to see a spider one of the ones with daddy long legs type legs and tiny body brushed it off & didn't think much of it at the time later it became very itchy slightly red slightly swollen sore to touch & after scratching it remained itchy but scabbed over for weeks, about a month later while in the bath I gave it a good squeeze & a small blob of what looked like spider silk came out instantly it felt better & started to heal up I still have a wee red scar... what was that all about? & like you said yes I do blame the spider!

Your missus might of stepped in spurge or an ants nest. The pain from ants is instant, most problem plants need sunlight to react and cause blisters. If you got your bite this morning it more likely midge or flea.

I stood on/near and ants in my pants still 3 hours later.

I had a bad reaction to bites in Norfolk which apear to have been mosquitos

Are you talking about something like this

Harvetman by Alf Branch, on Flickr

This is a harvestman not a spider it has no venom and does not produce silk like a spider does.
