Yep! I've had cellulosic from one of these baaaarstRds

Poor vinegar on it ASAP in future works a treat

Yeh I got that cellulosis from a horsefly, lasted 3 days, had to keep my leg up.  Penecillin and anti-biotics usually clears it up!  Nasty. :-\

Fenistil works great against wasp stings and horsefly bites.

Tiger balm is also good

Flies, bugs, wasps and generally all things that fly, crawl and bite, love my legs. I get bitten all the time and my colleague is never bitten.  :'(

I have been seeing a whole lot of these recently. The local airbase had to close one of their hangers so it could be fumigated. On one house I counted 25 on or around the windows.
