The last two times we went to Steinhatchee, we were almost eaten alive by No-See-Ums. They were around the dock and areas around the motel we were staying. The itch can drive a sober man mad!!
We used an insect repellent with 25 % deet but that didn't seem to help. It looked like "locals" were unaffected. They were walking around in shorts and sleeveless shirts. There were also a few mosquitos there but seemed to be controlled by the spray.
So, what do local residents do to prevent being bitten by these No-see-ums? They obviously know how to control these micro-monsters! Can someone give us a recommendation? And after being bitten, what can be applied to control the itch?
Thanks!
