[Albion] The Marseille Mozzie bite thread

[Eric the meek]

Leg’s absolutely covered
Lost count

Why did they only bite one leg?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

TCP for the bites, and Piriton if the itching is unbearable.
If the red area grows and is hot, get to the docs for antibiotics.

I wish

Interesting. A girl in our party posted a photo earlier today of her badly swollen ankle which she said was from mozzie bites.

"A girl in our party?" Who are you? Silvio Berlusconi?

I've got a large one on my leg and one on my back. Mrs H has asked for confirmation that it's not a bed bug.

Modern away day problems!

We took the train back to the airport on Friday and the mosquitos at Vitrolles station were unbelievable.

It may have been that it was around dusk. But I've never seen so many ravenous mozzies. They normally don't touch me but this time, they were landing all over me and the other people waiting for the bus from Vitrolles to the airport. It could have been a massacre had the bus not arrived promptly.

I think the mozzies were "representing" Marseille in the absence of the Ultras!

@dwayne : this is my last post related to Marseille!

All those who went should stay at home today ….and socially distance..two miles should do it and report to your local fumigation centre

If it’s who I think it is, she will be very happy to be described as a girl and definitely not someone who would frequent a bunga bunga party.

I didn't get bitten on Wednesday night but came back on Friday after a Thursday night of mozzie feasting. Probably 25 or so bites all over my body. I managed to get two of them in the apartment on Friday morning but they were laden with my blood and far too slow to get away.
Ba****ds!

Bad enough in the summer up here with the dreaded midge, let alone suffering the mozzie as well.

Anthisan oitment is the life saver for me from Mosquito bite itchiness.

Run a spoon under hot water, until the spoon is hot to touch. Then press it against the bite. It’s the best relief - instantly takes the sting away and you forget it’s there.

The only person who got bitten in our group doesn’t drink alcohol. This is all you need to know.

I drank enough to fill a couple of Roman baths. Still got bitten, doesn't normally happen to me (or it does and I don't get the marks). Executing a few mosquitoes made me feel better momentarily but now I am worried it may have been bed bugs all along. Did the mozzies deserve a fair trial and even if found guilty, would community service be more appropriate?

God ......the people who didn't go to Marseille must be getting pretty sick of these threads now

What next ?

I lost my virginity in Marseille?

The drugs were so much better in Marseille?

Certainly the milfs we better in Marseille port was rammo with filth

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Two bites of some description for me too - neck and face!

 

[warmleyseagull]

Just back from 11 days in Avignon, Frejus, and Marseille. Wife and I bitten in all of them. Way more than 5, but think we built up a bit of resistance or else the Marseilles bugs carry less bite as we are free from itching now.

 

[AstroSloth]

Didn't get bitten but I do now have COVID so that's something I suppose.

I blame the bloke on the bus to the ground who shouted out "anyone got COVID? If you haven't you have now"

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

Another victim here. I've been murdered by mozzies in Lille before but didn't think to pack insect repellent for Marseille. Although I think most of the damage was done down by the Rhône in Avignon. Little blighters.

 

[Turkey]

Yep, lost count, got me all over!

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

Now I'm getting paranoid that it might be bed bug bites as well as mozzies. If so, I hope I didn't bring any stowaways back with me because it sounds like they're horrendous to get rid of: https://www.theguardian.com/society...e-into-your-home-every-night-we-sleep-in-fear

I woke up on Friday with a massive bite on my leg. That’s disappeared.

Woke up Sunday, didn’t feel quite right. Now got a heavy cold & cough, just done a Covid test & it’s negative.

Back to bed for me!
