They're named after a town in Dorset, so must be pretty common, but I'd never heard of them before.

That sounds more like bed bugs. No reported cases of blandford fly in derby, confirmed or unconfirmed.

Where were the bites? All over? It’s rare to get a blandford bite above the lower leg.

Huh. Ok, I stand corrected. Bites were on my face, mostly.
