Absolutely exquisite sensation!

Got midged at the deer range at Clatteringshaws a couple of days ago - all exposed skin protected but forgot my hair.

Spent yesterday at Kirroughtree with a helmet rubbing on the bites. Thinking of getting some mittens today to stop me scratching my head to pieces!

Perchy - wasn't exposing that while the midges were around!

I had to move the car one morning when the midges were out. I made the mistake of doing so in my dressing gown. Getting bitten in certain places is really not good (though I told myself at least the swelling was flattering).

I got eaten alive at the top of the Granites on Sunday. Itchiest bites I've ever had.

WT actual F 😯

In the name of the wee man! How could such a thing even happen?

Just thinking about this, I've never, in my entire life, been further from a stauner than I am right now. 😯

Ticks get everywhere.
I have had them on arms, legs, bellly, armpit, top of pubes...They go for warm and moist.

A couple of male colleagues have pulled them out of groin/pubic, one female colleague out of 'adjacent to' area...

I detest the things.
