Yes, they are midge bites, not mosquito bites. I know this because after being bitten so badly a few years ago, I spotted a tiny speck between two fingers, and as I looked -it bit me!!! Next day, blister, later crust. So, who would have thought such a tiny thing coumd cause such a reaction. I am so glad they arent bigger, little rotters. Nightmare, especially when the bites are in your hair. If anyone has an idea for prevention and cure, I would be very grateful.
