Thread: It `s nice to meet you guys.

Ah, so the sandflies found you already?
Two tips...
Vitamin B helps to stop the itchy bites.
Take a couple of Vitamin B tablets each day, starting about a week before you go out where the sandflies lurk.
If you do get itchy spots (because you didn't take the Vitamin B) put a wee dab of Lavender Oil on the bite. This is real Lavender Oil, not the smelly junk made for burning in lamps/diffusers, etc.
The real Lavender Oil sorts out any sting/bite (even a bee sting) within 20-30 seconds.
Now some clowns will come on saying rub diesel fuel all over you, or cover yourself in Dettol, etc, etc.
Yeah, OK...you want to walk through the bush, hunting for deer, and smelling like Diesel, Kero, Dettol, etc? Nope that's not going to work.
The Vitamin B tablets don't smell, nor make you smell. Leastwise the deer won't know you are taking them.

Yeah, sandflies found me a lot. Thanks for the tips, will do next time. Itching I can take, but the year long healing time and those scars was too bad. I interviewed lots kiwis about how they react to sandfly, itching of course but no over immune response like me, swollen red skin on the spot, long lasting wound etc. Anyway there is no perfect world, I choose NZ, the one big reason is because she have no poison creatures thus I did `t go Brisbane. Even going Australia is much easier for me.
Thank you again. Hopefully when I get back could join you for a hunt but I need to restore my core strength little bit, going back to gym soon. Btw, how is the small games hunting in your Nelson area? Rabbits, hares as well pheasants?

Have nice weekend.
