I was invited to Santiago golf course yesterday and got VERY bitten almost exclusively around my legs. I'm so used to mosquito bites I'm sure it wasn't them, the bite has a bigger, bloodier entry wound and at one time I actually had steaks of blood running down my legs! I think they look VERY similar to flea bites but I was hoping that they aren't!
I was covered in Off! - That made no difference either and again, this raises my suspicions because I believe that Off! is mainly an anti-mosquito spray.
I've counted nearly 50 bites - that's a rate of almost three per hole!
Before I burn my clothes, I was wondering if Hillbilly, Grahame or anyone else who occassionally plays there might be able to shed some light?
And by the way, before anyone asks, I had quite a successful round (for me) and no I didn't spend several hours thrashing around in the undergrowth trying to find my ball!
Scritch,scritch,scritch.
Perhaps next time I'll wear long trousers and bicycle clips.
