Yellow Fly Bites

Yellow fly bites are among the most painful things ever. It's not the bite itself that hurts (it does, but not comparatively), but the itching.The itching (NOT the scratching, but the itching itself) is so unbearable that I clawed the skin off my back to no avail once.

Have you ever been bitten by a yellow fly?

Do you live in Seattle?

"While female deer flies feed on blood, males instead collect pollen. When feeding, females use knife-like mandibles and maxillae to make a cross-shaped incision and then lap up the blood. Their bite can be extremely painful, and resulting allergic reaction from the saliva of the fly can result in further discomfort and health concerns. Pain and itch are the most common symptoms, but more significant allergic reactions can develop."
