To think bug bites are particularly bad this year?

[AliceNotInChains]

I feel like I’m being eaten alive at the minute with bug bites, they look like mosquitoes bites - legs, arms, latest one is on my boob! I was panicking that the house was infested with something but my sister says she is also suffering much more bites this year than normal! Anyone else?

I'm in the north east too, and noticed the same. DH doesn't seem bothered by them though which is (selfishly) annoying

we have a farm, the horseflies are seriously bad this year and they’re so ANGRY.

literally swarms of them chasing you out of the fields. Hung my washing out the other day I got bitten 5 times

Loads of horseflies this year, I've never really noticed them before. This year I'm seeing more insects in general, which is good because they need to be encouraged. The bitey ones are annoying, but just apply repellant.

No idea what bit me but it still hasn't gone away. It has eased though.

We’ve got off quite lightly this year - so far. Only one real horsefly attack (on DH) and it didn’t come to much because we always carry repellent spray and antihistamine cream when we’re out in summer.
