Anonymous Coward User ID: 60600087 United States 04/12/2017 04:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's a story.... I was in Kuwait, before the war, in 2003. On a rifle range, just doing some shooting and hanging out. I felt what was like a slap on the back of my neck, but something stuck on there. It was a HUGE bug, like a fly. I whacked it, but it didn't die, and flew away. No kidding, it was as big as a golf ball. My neck was numb for two days. No marks or swelling, just numb. The doc couldn't even see where I got bit, but he did the needle poke thing without me knowing, and I didn't even flinch. It was THAT numb. Kinda freaked me out. But, the human body is pretty resilient, so all was well soon enough. |

Seriously though, living da the beach in Florida we deal with the yellow fly which is in the horse fly species. I've gotten bitten by one and got a massive burning hot swollen leg from it. The area get extremely red with a darker dot in the center. Annoying pain for about a week. |

User ID: 11213558 United States 04/12/2017 07:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One time on a fishing trip I got stung by a deer fly, which I think must be a close relative, stung me right through my sneakers. Ruined the fishing trip for me, I can tell you. I'm usually pretty immune to insect bites, but this one proved to be the exception to the rule for me. *** Good deeds bring rewards, bad actions bring troubles. That is a law of the universe. *** |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73554309 United States 04/12/2017 07:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, you got horsefly kicked. They're bad here around pools, the splashing water attracts them and they're about as big as a dollar coin. Their bite is no joke. Feels similar to a yellow jacket sting. I remember as a kid learning to hold my breath for a VERY LONG TIME while swimming because they would be buzzing around the surface |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73846686 United States 04/12/2017 07:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Deer flies are the smaller tan ones with pattern wings, ,whorse flies are the bigger dark gray/jet black ones, both bites are painful. Get blue solo cups and a tube of tangle foot. The flies are extremely territorial and will swarm the blue cups and stick to the tanglefoot, put a cup coated in tanglefoot on the lawnmower before mowing the lawn. |
