Holidaymaker has bites that will last a month after flies infested her luggage

A woman has been left with bites, scabs and blisters on her skin and her home will have to be fumigated after she brought Spanish black flies back home from holiday in her luggage. Denise Kelly, 42, has been left with wounds that could take a month to heal after being attacked by the bugs.

Denise says she fell ill on the flight home after being bitten while in Barcelona - and when she got back to the UK she went to hospital. After getting home Denise started to spot flies buzzing around her home - and was bitten again.

She has now moved out until the property has been fumigated, and fears the dangerous flies, which saw into your flesh, came home with her from Spain in her luggage - and possibly even in a toy.
