Interesting, I lived in Scotland for a while as a child, and used to get eaten alive, especially feeding orphan lambs. My arms would be covered in red marks from wrist to elbow. We used Jungle Formula (called it jungle juice!) which worked. However, on holiday in Missouri my husband and my cousin's husband were being bitten and my cousin and I were barely tasted. I do get the occasional horsefly bite but I don't react as bad.It did get me thinking, though. Genes must play a part; maybe also diet? or immune reaction? Can you get acclimatised to midges?
