Visually, it’s a mess. But the feeling is what really sells it. The bite burns immediately—like someone touched you with a cigarette. Then, after a few hours, the itch sets in. It’s a deep, maddening, bone-level itch that makes you want to sandpaper your own skin. You’ll catch yourself scratching in public, looking deranged. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.
So, to sum it up: Clegg bites look like an angry, swollen, bruised, sometimes blistery mess. They are not cute. They are not small. They are your body’s dramatic way of saying, “I hate horse flies, and I’m going to show it.” If you see one on your arm, just wave goodbye to that limb for a week. And maybe invest in long sleeves.
