They’re named after a town in Dorset, so must be pretty common, but I’d never heard of them before.

    I’m not sure it’s them at all to be honest. No one s exactly sure. All I know s they hurt more than any infected gnat bite I’ve had before!

    DEET insect repellent is supposed to work. It’s on the shopping list!

    It turns out pretty much all insect bites are treated the same unless there’s secondary infection; just leave t and take anti-histamines.
