Tiny black biting flies...gggrr, I am so highly allergic to their bites! The other day I was out landscaping for hours, not realizing (not feeling the bite at the time) that I was being feasted upon. When I took off my tall socks and work boots, I now have a ring of bites around each calf about halfway up. Itching like crazy, oozing, it's really awful and nothing I am trying is getting rid of the itch. I've tried over-the-counter hydocortisone cream, witch hazel, and really thought my new bottle of calamine lotion would do the trick. Not so much...

Not just my legs either - bites on my ear lobe, in my cleavage, on my trunk, my shoulders and back.
