Having come back from a ride at Hamsterley on Tuesday night and stupidly forgot to take any insect repellent, I've been suffering all week with Midge (sp) bites. They are only now just starting to subside, having been furiously scratching my arms and legs all week!

I'm going to make sure in future I always have some repellent in my car, but after the experiences of this week I think I should get some sort of "after-bite" treatment as well!

Does anyone have any recommendations for both prevention and treatment?

after the event... mix hydrocortisone cream with eurax totally stops you itching yr skin off in bed & lets you sleep.
