I have only run into noseeums in the USVI. I will take skeeters any day of the week over those frickers.

Do they only bite certain people? What do you do to protect yourself?
Some people aren’t as tortured as others. I get whelps. And they fricking swarm to me.

Coastal areas, I was in Bay St. Louis this past weekend.

Evidently I was on their menu too, I am so miserable right now. No one else in my group got bitten like I did.

They are in north br sometimes too... they get nuts at memorial in the spring.... I've even seen a good bit around independence park lately.
They really are sickening.

So is there a "season" for them or are they around all year long?

Are these things all over the US?
I’ve seen them (get it?) from Chincoteague, VA all the way south down the Atlantic Coast to be Fla. Keys and all along the Gulf Coast to Corpus Christi.

They always seem to be be near the coast but I've noticed them every now and then in br for this spring for sure.

I'm near the coast (about 1000 feet) and haven't noticed them so hopefully it's too cold for them here.

Sounds like a museum of smells. I bet there's people that would pay to go to that.

I hear ya, I don't want to encounter them again---ever

Lived in BRLA for 12 years never heard of noseeums until I moved to KWFL. Very few things take them out IMO

They are bad at times down on the Gulf Coast in Alabama. I grew up in Vermilion Parish in Louisiana and would take mosquitoes over No see ums any day. They give shits about OFF or any clothing.

Try sawyer picardin spray. Get it at Walmart on the camping section. Cut my dulac bites down about 75%. Almost quit going there altogether until I found this stuff

I make a solution of equal parts imitation vanilla, Listerine (the original yellow)and water. Put in a spray bottle and spray yourself. Works for me and others...I've heard that adding a little mint to it helps but I haven't tried it.
