To sum it up, look for these clues. A sharp, painful bite that made you yelp. A large, swollen, hot welt with a tiny hole in the middle. It might bleed a little and feel rock-hard underneath. It will itch like the devil’s own joke.
If that sounds like your current situation? Yep. You’ve been visited by the tiny flying demon known as the horsefly. Welcome to the club. The membership is free, and the souvenir is a welt the size of a jawbreaker.
Now go ice that thing. And maybe avoid picnics near cows for a while, yeah? You’ve done your time.
