my wife is unfortunate enough to react badly to these bites and actually comes up in large blisters. the best treatment is prevention, ie put rid or other insect repellant containing deet on the backs of your legs as that is where they seem to strike. the local ointment 'silver clove' seems to alleviate the itch and antihistamines can be obtained from apotiks (chemist) to reduce the swelling. use repellant though and you should be ok.
