Thanks for the warning Jon
They cab certainly be very painful and quite serious for children and the elderly
Strong DEET insect sprays should work but are not very pleasant to use
There are measures that can be taken against the s they did in Blandford but they are expensive and in fact may not be so effective see www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-dorset-28596851/blandford-fly-controls-under-threat

Vicious bites this morning. They seem to love the combination of sun and rain. Info at https://www.facebook.com/groups/charlburygardeners/permalink/848443345309123/
