Midges in Uzumlu??

[The Crinklies]

I have been trying out the Avon 'Skin So Soft' (Green Bottle) which was recommended on the forum and am having success with it.
Usually I am covered in bites but I just have a couple from when I forgot to apply it.
I think the biting insects are used to the usual mossie products so I have found that those are not very effective.
Why not try this Avon oil and see if it helps? (No, I'm not an Avon rep!)

On the advice of a pharmacy in fethiye we are currenty experimenting with a mixture of camfor tablets (moth repellent) and baby oil. No new bites today? we are both covered in bites, we still do not know which of the little b's are doing the damage. Is it the small fruit fly that are in abundance in our garden? we do not seem to have any midges? or midges as in the UK.

Hydrocortisone cream [1% strength] is good for calming itchy skin and taking the swelling down but don't put on weeping bites or sunburnt skin.  It's also a good idea to take an antihistamine if the bites are really irritating you.
Another thing I do is put either lemon juice or vinegar on bites...it seems to take the itch out for a while [but hurts....].
Hope this helps.

These midges are so weeny you wouldn't believe they could cause so much trouble.  With the damage they can cause I am thankful they aren't bigger, LOL.

I don't think they are fruit flies, I'd say they were half the size.

I have been told that Elma Oil is very soothing to the bites and it can be got from Pharmacies for about 4 lira.  I will get some tomorrow...
