That's all the technical data I got. Here's the question from the title, does England have strange bugs that can do that?

Any bite if it turns infected can lead to complications, but the ones in the UK that are really painful.

False widow spiders are the most venomous spider in the UK and can require treatment, seems like the most likely candidate. Video not for the squeamish.

Horse fly bites are really sore, you tend to get a red swelling and can easily get infected.

Mosquitoes are becoming more common with the rise in temperatures.

Ticks can lead to Lyme disease which is a serious condition if untreated.

What I loved about the U.K. Was the trains. Getting the 'luxury' ticket meant tea and biscuits. I felt very special.

The False Widow Spider sounds scary enough and actually exists in the UK, so that's good enough for me. Australia usually gets the most press for things that can kill you.

Thanks for the info!

I think this confirms the Last Englishman Hypothesis. Earlier, you were loathe to speak for other English People on Tea Time. Now, you're quite certain.

You've killed them all, haven't you? Even Stephen Hawking?

If he has, does that make Morrus the Queen?

There have been rare cases of Black Widows being found in bags of bananas, but False Widows actual have populations in the south of England, that are steadily moving north thanks to warm climates.
