It’s spring­time and the aza­leas are bloom­ing which means the sand gnats are bit­ing.. Just a few help­ful hints to help us ward off these pesky lit­tle insects..
Where do they come from?? Breed­ing areas can be var­ied depend­ing on par­tic­u­lar species. Area with sub­stan­tial salt marsh habit (us) are major pro­duc­ers of bit­ing midge species.
What do they look like?? The adult no-see-ums are grey and less than 1/8 inch long. The two wings pos­sess dense hairs. The mouth­parts are well-developedwith cut­ting teeth adapted for blood-sucking in females and not in males.
What is the med­ical sig­nif­i­cance?? In the U.S , the bit­ing midges are pri­mar­ily a nui­sance and the major med­ical issue asso­ci­ated with Culi­coides is aller­gic reac­tions to the bites.
I will sug­gest a repel­lent con­tain­ing DEET . It can be applied prior to expo­sure to the bit­ing midges. I will leave the dryer sheets, skin-so-soft, cit­ronella oil, etc reme­dies up to YOU.

Enjoy our beau­ti­ful spring weather,

M. Bruce Hyers, Director
