I will be watching this post! I guess I must be allergic to them? My bites from the black fly get HUGE and the itch is unbearable. The bite area gets hard as a rock. After a few days it will start to ooze fluid. It's a two week ordeal with each and every bite. I've gone online searching for relief have come up empty handed. We have a running creek and a pond on our property, both of which those pesky flies love. I hope someone in the Sisterhood has a remedy!

Hi, and sorry about your black fly problem. They are mean! My cousin told me they are very bad at Kelley Island in Ohio and they use vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle. She said you have to spray it on often but it works...I'd give it a try!
