Just a warning for everyone, a few days ago a friend was badly stung by wasps that had formed a nest inside an outside shed, he was attacked when entering and required urgent hospital treatment.

I have a very good friend coming out to Italy to spend 2 months touring, and hopefully buying a small second home here.

Trying to find my way around this new community, and am slightly better than I was, but with so many threads I am now having difficulty in remembering which one I posted in, so searching for an answer is a task in itself, any easy way to track you

Thanks Al, you are describing exactly our situation, thanks everyone for being helpul and thanks to Penny for her advice all much appreciated. So I shall continue to be kicked off mid prose, lets hope this makes it before it decides to have another "rest......boh."

Obviously if it were simple Beeryspice, I and others would not be asking questions, and this forum would probably not survive, mostly the answers are helpful and polite. Even after 5 years it is still a learning process, perhaps I might some day reach the dizzy heights of "knowing it all" but doubt it. Meanwhile am happy to exchange and share information.

Thanks we know the guys at global multimedia and whilst always helpful have not really found a solution to the problem , have also had telecom Italia out to check the line, so running out of ideas and patience, perhaps we need a magic wand!

Slightly at a tangent, I am given differing advice regarding payment for tests and visits to specialists.And remain confused. What are the guidelines regarding payment?.I will have been resident for 5 yrs after Feb2011, am over 60, and have my Tessera. I was also wondering if charges were income based. Perhaps Sebastiano as a long term resident can give a definative answer.

Amazing what the NHS can come up with, probably fortunate I live in Italy, I take it you may be joking, but can someone lend me the bible just in case! Oh and for daytime use have discovered Vape Derm Herbal wipes, have not been bitten but then it is pouring with rain here in Marche today.

Sad news, Carol was a founder member of this community and willingly shared her wealth of knowledge and love of Italy with us all. She will be missed by the many that she has helped.

Skin so Soft may be more pleasant and I have tried it here in Italy as an alternative to Deet, it doesnt work for me, but will try the citronella oil as an alternative.

Products with Deet, especially good is Boots Repel, apply in the morning, and reapply after a shower in the early evening. If bitten use Fargan, an ½ûÂþÌìÌà ointment bought in the farmacia, this is the first year that I havent suffered from bites.And at night in the bedroom use the plug in mozzi guard. If you stick to this regime everyday you will have a much more pleasant summer!.

It is always wise to get more than one quote, but I do take exception to the comment that ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs are sometimes out to fleece you because you are foreign, it hasnt been our experience after nearly 5 yrs living here. The number of events we used to go to when a bunch of ex-pats main topic of conversation was how they had been cheated. I would suggest that misunderstanding and a total lack of language skills and a lack of effort in trying to learn ½ûÂþÌìÌà was the culprit rather than a wish on the ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs part to be dishonest.Â
