I was bit by a horse fly 3 days ago which has a large blister. how long will it take for the blister to burst and should it be covered up when it does?

A few days: What you're seeing is your body's immune response. It should go away in 4-5 days. If it lasts longer or gets worse it could be the start of an infection. It's best to leave the area alone and only cover it if its in an area that gets rubbed.
