 Spain hit by plague of blood-sucking black flies
Spain hit by plague of blood-sucking black flies
Only two to three millimetres long, the fly is much smaller and harder to spot than most mosquitoes, but its voracious bite sent more than 2,000 people to hospital last year in Catalonia alone. Its vigorous jaw, which releases a cocktail of chemicals, can produce allergic reactions. picked by DrNothing 1 year ago

My god, not... black flies!!

Seriously, anyone from northern anywhere on earth can talk about blackflies. I have blackfly bites everywhere right now, but at least blackflies will be done soon. If you get enough bites in one day their toxins make you feel all loopy, but it's very NOT fun.
