Sharmum:Hi - my daughter suffers the same plight ;-( The bugs have left very ugly scars on her legs. More importantly, the itch hinders her concentration in class.Anyone encounter bugs or Sand flies issues ?
My elder daughter encountered this last year and leaving unsightly scars with her. She suffered from Sand flies bites everytime during school re-opens and wounds will heal and recover during school holiday but the cycle starts again once school re-open.
I only discovered this in Term 2 last year. So feedback everytime when school re-opens. School check and advise that it's Sandflies.
But now my younger daughter also suffer from bugs bites and every week return with new one. This time i took pictures of all bites and feedback to school. I tried all cream and spray repellent all over her uniform, bags and shoes and still no use.
But i don't understand why Sand flies will appear at school ?? Thought it usually is present near sea side :? ??????????
I called the school office and they said my daughter was the only one who had the bug bites?!?
Now I put mosquito repellent patch on her dress everyday and it has helped her. On days when we forget, she will suffer the bites.
