Horse fly bits & Elephant man Hands!!

[EquestrianFairy]

Ok, so i always get bitten by horseflies but i got bitten by one yesterday and my hand has swelled up double the size!

Its painful and itchy.. do you think the horsefly hit a nerve or a vein?! They dont normally have this reaction on me?!

Oh dear, you may need to have an Anti-Histamine

I got bitten on the ankle by one a couple of years ago and my whole foot swelled up and the itching was unbearable. Take some antihistamine, it will help but mine took about a week to go down.
