I don't seem to be suffering with hayfever this year, but then again I take anti-histamines twice daily for other allergies so I guess I wouldn't suffer!

Are you taking any anti-histamines??

I've been using anti-histamine cream on the insect bites on my legs. One bite on my ankle has made it swell to 1½ times normal size. It's been like that for a few days

Ouch! Try taking some anti-histamines too.

Funny thing is I phoned my son in Norway tonight and he started telling me that an insect bite has caused his ankle to really swell . Spooky

Is Tooma Norwegian for Swollen ankle?

Sorry - My command of Scandinavian idioms is limited. I do know that Brann Teppe is something to do with fire blankets though

Stinging Nettles ahahaha I ran into those in the back 40 of Hever Castle while out there and my shins went completely numb... weird and then itchy but I did my best to leave them alone, but they prickled for about 3 days afterwards.

Allergies, never had an allergy free day between skin allergies and airborne something is always bothering me.

Counting myself lucky that ..... fingers crossed, so far I'm free from allergies. That isn't to say I alway's will be.

I feel really sorry for any of you who suffer in this way, especially in this heat wave. Must be really miserable. :-1

What about if the insect was a little more laid back? :-3
