If it is a mite/tick bite check this is not Limes disease-go to doc's!

If it was, I think it'd be too late, but thanks.

In terms of your bites, after the first couple of days antihistamines don't help much (other than the local anaesthetic to stop you scratching them) but keep going with savlon or equivalent. Especially horse fly bites. I've had a few bad experiences with those including turning mauve and oozing.

I'd second Advantage on the dog - we've Frontlined our cats for years (no problem to us or them) and this spring found that Frontline wasn't working as well - some fleas persisted. Have seen online that the fleas are starting to resist it. Advantage did the trick. BUT doesn't do ticks like Frontline does so doing Frontline once or twice a season, a week apart or so from the Advantage will help.
