Partner has been getting bitten on public transport a lot and ended up on antibiotics twice now with infected bites that look very red/swollen and end up covering area 5-8cm across the first one was all blistered and not pretty to look at. no evidence of any bugs/fleas at home which is uncarpeted and having just moved in is mostly boxed and bagged stuff from 7 months ago or my stuff from the last week where we were both staying.
A lot of the flat is new apart from the kitchen and all floors are new stripped and painted/oiled boards, no skirting and everything is wiped/dusted on unpacking.
Obviously a bit paranoid after reading this thread but does anyone have any recommendations for a spray she can put on her legs when using the bus/tube? she only uses it a couple of times a week but really doesn’t want a course of antibiotics every month for a bite.
