Hell on Earth

I can always pinpoint the precise moment that Spring arrives in Hong Kong.

It's when midge bites appear all over my arms and hands. Mosquitoes have nothing on those little bloodsuckers.

The FEHD puts it mildly:

To most people, the bites of biting midges cause acute discomfort and irritation. The irritation can last for days, or even weeks. Scratching aggravates the pruritus and may lead to bacterial infection and slow-healing wounds.

All true, except that excruciating, penetrating, everlasting torment would be more accurate.
