Swelling of the bitten area and development of redness is one of the common symptoms indicating a Deer Fly allergy. This is often accompanied by discomfort or pain which can vary in severity depending on the individual's reaction to the bite.
Itching is a frequent symptom of Deer Fly allergy. It might become severe and persist for several days. Scratching the affected area might provide temporary relief but can lead to further irritation and potential skin damage.
Those allergic to a Deer Fly bite may develop a rash. This can range from a localized rash around the bite to more widespread rash covering larger areas of the body.
In severe cases of Deer Fly allergy, difficulty in breathing might be experienced due to the body's extreme allergic reaction. This requires immediate medical attention.
A more extreme allergic reaction can result in swelling of the face, lips, or throat. This symptom poses a serious risk as it can impede breathing and should be treated as an emergency.
Fever is another symptom of Deer Fly allergy. Although it's not very common, some individuals might experience a low-grade fever that usually accompanies other symptoms such as a rash and itching.

Deer flies are most active during warm, sunny days. Avoiding outdoor activity during these peak hours (typically mid-day) can help you avoid exposure and subsequent allergic reactions.
Long sleeves, pants, hats, and sunglasses can all act as physical barriers to deer flies. Light-colored clothing tends to attract fewer flies than dark colors. It could also be beneficial to wear special head netting if you think you will be in a highly infested area.
Apply insect repellents to your clothing and skin, as directed on the product label, for an added layer of protection against deer flies. DEET and Picaridin-based products are often effective.
Maintaining a clean environment can help reduce the number of deer flies. Person hygiene and sanitation around your home and work areas can prevent deer flies from breeding and thriving.
