If you’re sure it’s them, you must be near a breeding ground. Wonder what makes you in particular so susceptible? It’s like with midges - some people just get eaten alive.
Do bug/insect repellants work? Or covering up (maybe ok in the cool but likely unbearable in summer proper)?
Your local minor injuries unit may have some experience and advice to share maybe?

I’m not sure it’s them at all to be honest. No one s exactly sure. All I know s they hurt more than any infected gnat bite I’ve had before!
DEET insect repellent is supposed to work. It’s on the shopping list!
It turns out pretty much all insect bites are treated the same unless there’s secondary infection; just leave t and take anti-histamines.
