Twice in the last couple of weeks, multiple grouped bites. Bedroom sprayed, bedding changed regularly. MrJ not a thing, just me, always.

Mossies ? We get them here in the hot weather , they make a whining noise as they are about to bite you. Horrible nasty things. One of the reasons most Aussies have fly screens.

I’m not sure how long it takes for a bite to show a reaction. Sometimes it seems to happen straight away but at other times it takes a day or so. What I don’t understand is how I can get bitten through layers of clothes? I’ve got two bites on my leg at the moment.

I remember thinking to myself a couple of days ago 'must start putting the Jungle formula on' but didn't. Always wait till I get bitten before I use it...

Yes 3 bites on my upper arm so so itchy don’t think was mossies as I didn’t hear them.

Mossies seem to love me - is it something attractive in my blood? I can get them in quite embarrassing places, despite being fully clothed!

Yes I can't understand how I get bites in 'nether regions' either. I cover up in a nightie and even in the hot weather I wrap a sheet around me but still the little burgers manage to get at me hmm

I have a tube of Anthisan beside the bed as I get bitten regularly. It works quickly to stop the itching.
