I go through about a jar every week and a half. A good helping of Marmite on 4 slices of toast every morning (except weekends), so I'm not sure that works...

Didn't react as badly as you, but my calf swelled up, horrible hard area behind the bite and the itching was terrible for at least a week.

It could well have been red ants, whilst I was on the plot I turned over some earth only to discover the ground turned red with white specs in it. I'd uncovered a red ants nest...

I've posted some photos of my feet (you luck lot!) on my blog. I pretty cheesed off - forgive the pun, because I'm pretty much house-bound for the weekend at least - on nurses (and wife's) orders!

Whatever it was, I wish I'd squished it now!!
