flea bites. damn itchy too. any ways to help stop this?

Try some DEET insect repellant

[Sam Vimes]

Deliberately miss.

Alternatively just leave the shot bunny for a while to cool. The bulk of the hitch hikers will leave the carcass as it cools.

Thanks chaps. will try deet. dont have to try and deliberately miss,
i'm good at missing anyway.

Leave em 15 minutes before you pick them up and any passengers should have dropped off

Just make sure they aren't deer tick bites. If you get a supposedly undiagnosable sickness, ask your doc to test for Limes Disease. A major indicator of this frightful illness is a red ring around the bite point (as opposed to a red ring, which is due to something else entirely... ).

Doubt they're flea bites, Samboy. More likely midges.
But if they are and your eyes and nose start running, you'll be the first case of human myxie.

Give me a shout if you do .. I'll come round and put an end to your misery.

As said, leave the body to cool.

Hock them and tree them if possible or on a fence.

The fleas detect the dropping body heat, lack of pulse or whatever and realise dinner time is over so they jump ship.

Be advised though that eggs and larvea may well survive and be transported to where you least want them.

When you get to the quarry - flick a light over them (if dark of course) and see what the activity level is like.

Been shooting near windsor and havnt seen a single flea yet.

Others are teeming.

Defo leave them 20 30 minutes (longer on a warm night.

Made a mistake once and left shot rabbits in my motor to drop off later that morning to a friend. The car was F******G ridden with fleas and i do mean ridden.

Pulled everything out and dumped enough insecticide in it to do a 5 bedroom detached house.

Wasnt funny at the time - especially as I had to drive 10 miles in their company. but find it funny now. Moral use plastic bags not game bags.

Hi gang.

Thanks for advice on bites. I'm beginning to like being
itchy, when i'm scratching myself in the pub nobody
comes near me so i dont have to buy them any drinks.
