Longer than two weeks actually. 2 weeks ago last saturday i was out on the bike and ended up getting a total of 4 bites on my legs. The following day they became very itchy, as they do, along with redness/soreness. Unsure of what actually bit me.

Fast forward 18 days and they still havent healed. They have scabbed over but dont seem to want to close up. I dont know if it was from the bites (or possibly just the heat) but i havent been feeling my best the last two weeks, very lethargic.

Am i going to die?

Wonder if they are horsefly bites - I had one of those that took over a year to clear up completely.

Get them checked at GP or walk in clinic. Slight chance they could be Tick bites. They can pass on all sorts of nasties.
