Mauled by midgies, tormented by ticks, chomped by clegs?🦟🐜🐝
Scotland’s summer wildlife is out in full force and they’re hungry!

Whether you're hiking the Highlands or just enjoying a garden BBQ, insect bites can be more than just annoying. Some can cause allergic reactions or even carry infections like Lyme disease.

🧴 Top tips to stay bite-free:
✔️ Use insect repellent
✔️ Wear long sleeves and trousers in grassy or wooded areas
✔️ Keep food covered
✔️ Avoid strong perfumes that attract bugs
✔️ If you're camping, avoid pitching your tent near water like rivers or lochs

If you've been bitten and it's swollen, painful or not healing, get it checked. Your pharmacist can provide helpful advice or visit our bites and stings page on .
