Anyone else been a victim of beastly bites after Tuesday's session???

Even though they haven't been scratched, one of my bites has turned really angry and is now a weeping blister, resulting in a ballooned ankle and foot. Coach has 3 bites that have manifested and is on antibiotics!!!

I should know better from last year!!!! Never again!!!!!

Beastly bites

'the one on my shin has has gone a horrible purple colour!'

Do they do them in blue?

I may have to slow down to get one.

I have 2 cracking bites on my shoulder. I had to get the lazy mozzy jumped less than an inch to have a second go at me. Can't boast multi colouring - just bright red. Sarah you need some of Pete's spray! I was threatening to run by his side all night as the smell of his treatments alone should have kept the mozzies at bay. Unfortunately the idea was totally unrealistic as I saw Pete's dust on the first effort!

Yvonne had four on her very swollen calf, and they looked very angry. Fortunately they seem to have missed me, perhaps my lood is not as sweet as some of yours.
