Marty, were you bushwhacking or on a well-worn trail?  I'm sure Marty knows
blackberry and poison ivy; and wouldn't no-see-ums have bitten arms as well
as legs; and aren't they active earlier in summer?  I'm thinking an allergic
reaction to something that is not normally problematic.  Like hemlock,
maybe?

  Subject: [NatureNS] blackfly bites, or what are they


  I walked last thurs into North River Fall, in shorts.
  On my lower leg I had quite a few, what looked like, black fly bites. Some
40 on each leg, randomly spaced - not like I brushed into some noxious
plant.
  Usually they are no problem and the next day they are almost gone.
  These itch a little.
  Today is Sunday and there really red and slightly raised.
  Anybody know what happened?


  Marty
