Just wondered if anyone out there has developed a severe allergy to midge bites since recovering from Covid. I live in the Inner Hebrides and we really can't avoid midges from May-October. I seem to have become a midge magnet. About 6 weeks after Covid any bites I got went septic and turned into red weals and secondary hives developed. I am on a 4 week decreasing course of Prednisolone and Fexofendaline. If I get a bite everything flares up and the itch is awful. not going out is not an option as I have a black lab. I use midge sprays and protective clothing and midge hood. I never had a reaction prior to Covid. If anyone has any tips I would be most grateful.
