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, any chance you are having a delayed reaction? happens to me all the time. The bites seem to not do anything, no swelling no itching, then suddenly a day or two later start itching like crazy. I carry an after bite pen just incase.......works a bit for awhile. I find if I do scratch, they tend to septic really fast.
Hope you find a solution............and if you do will you share it?
