Beware of biteing insects.

My wife and I have stayed at Southport Club Site on numerous occasions previously. Its a fantastic site in a super location and we have always been impressed with the friendly, helpful staff and the cleanliness of the site and facilities. However on this occasion we had booked to stay on the weekend of the Southport Air Show. The air show was excellent as it always is but we and other guests couldn't help but notice the number of diseased and dying rabbits that seemed to be all over the site. It was pitiful to see these poor animals suffering in such a way. We actually saw other guests pick up dead rabbits and remove them, although we never saw any of the site staff removing them. The rabbits have always been one of the more endearing sights when you arrive, as they are out feeding all day within feet of you. but to see them like this was heart-breaking. What's more, in the evening when we were sat out enjoying a drink and the late evening sunshine, unknown to us we were being bitten by what looked like mosquitoes, these insects must have been feeding on the diseased rabbits and then biting us and other guests. That evening it became very apparent that these insect bites were not like anything that we had encountered before, I personally had suffered six seriously infected bites which, after our stay, needed treating with antibiotics, antihistamines and antiseptic cream, whilst a friend who we were sat chatting to that evening, ended up in such a state that she had to attend A&E after being bitten 16 times. We were due to go back and stay again for the musical fireworks display, however we have now cancelled this booking and we wont be going back until we are sure that the problem with the rabbit population is sorted out. I am making an appeal to all the Southport site staff, who must be aware of the issue. Please work to get this problem sorted before someone with a weakened immune system, for what ever reason, is affected and may need hospital treatment or worse. Alexpari.
