Mount Bass Fire Trail Sandflies

["Elizabeth Shaw" <>]

I usually don't feel Sandfly bites until hours later.  Then the itching is 
unbearable and I often end up with sores that take weeks to heal- sometimes 
leading to scarring.
Ti tree ointment can help relieve the itch and heal quicker.

A doctor in Cooktown last year suggested digging fingernails into two sides 
of the bite might also help.  A couple of bites threatened to turn into 
tropical ulcers and being diabetic healing takes longer than healthier 
people.
