Mon 5 Feb, 12:24 I was plagued by little black flies in the garden yesterday but luckily did not suffer from Blandford bites.Perhaps the flies came up north with the flow of warm air.Another sign that Climate Change is real? |

Mon 5 Feb, 10:40 Blandford fly normally May to June. Rather unlikely to be that. More likely caused by ticks or midges or an allergy to a plant. Late February is peak time for allergies to the pollen of hazel and yew, and everything is early this year. Lords-and- Ladies is an eye irritant, other possibilities here: https://www.rhs.org.uk/prevention-protection/potentially-harmful-garden-plants |

Mon 5 Feb, 10:03 Could it be too early for the dreaded Blandford Fly?. After cheering on the excellent Charlbury football team to a great victory on Saturday my husband developed over the next day a wonderful black eye and swollen forehead.,,,,,,we think the B.F. is the culprit. |
