It hasn't rained in the UK for a few weeks now and been sweltering hot. We've had to keep the doors and windows wide open to let out the heat but the midges are out in force and I'm now the proud owner of itchy bite marked arms/legs/neck smothered with broad dabs of sudocrem. Not a good look if you wear skirts or dress to work.

Anyone who's traveled abroad where flying insects like to ambush then bite chunks offer any suggestions how to get rid of them? Thanks.
