Has anyone else been bitten by mosquitoes in the UK recently?

[CantSleepWontSleep]

According to my parents, there have been lots of reports of this happening, but I haven't heard any.

I got bitten twice at the start of this week, and was cynical about them actually being from mosquitoes, but last night I heard and then saw one in my room.

Are we being invaded ?

kat, my bite is a pink circle (was a blotchy shape to begin with) with a pinprick hole in the centre. After a while the hole oozes when you scratch it.

yep. Am covered after a weekend in the garden in London.

Am about to go to the chemist as have heard that if you take vit B tablets, you won't get bitten (possibly the marmite connection). Am off to spain in a couple of weeks and the bites ruined my last hol.

I am really covered. Our house backs onto a field and park and I take the dogs there every day. Have sprayed myself with insect repellent but not working
Have been eating marmite too!

I would love to have my legs out for the summer but they look awful

glad i'm not the only one. i thought i'd left the bastards at home in canada!

the 'so soft' stuff that has been referred to is Avon Skin So Soft and it does work.

at the risk of sounding thick lol, how do u tell the diff between a mosquitoe and a gnat?
