Bottoms up . . . relief for beastie bites

-

Last week I wrote in praise of Jura. I'm now back from my seven days in paradise on the idyllic isle. I am basking in the warm glow of a week well spent and a sun tan topped up.

Even the emergence of millions of terrible wee beasties couldn't put a dampener on my visit.

But the itching has begun. Both to return, but also from the midge bites.

Which reminds me of some valuable advice I received about treating the swelling sores. Few things other than a stiff breeze seem to deter the attention of the hungry hoards. But after the midges have munched, what to do?

As long as you can deal with the mild embarrassm­ent of asking for it at your local chemists the answer is haemorrhoi­d cream.

It works. Instant relief. All over your body. So whether the beasties bite your bum or your tum, buy now before stocks run out.
