Are midges dangerous? Their bite resembles a mosquito bite
Midges are insects that reach a length of 1.5 to 6 mm. They are gray to brown in color, with a stocky body and thick legs. There are about 50 varieties of these insects in Poland. Their larvae develop in water – both in rivers and in permanent reservoirs. And although they can be a nuisance, they play a large role in nature. Among other things, they are responsible for cleaning rivers because they eat dead plants and animal remains. Females pose a threat to humans, because they supplement the diet with the blood of not only humans, but also animals. Male flies feed on flowers and plants. Biting blackflies should not have serious consequences, because they are not carriers of diseases, but it can be unpleasant. It can result in swelling, itching, redness, as well as fever or nausea.

How to protect yourself from black flies? Try the homemade way
Fortunately, there are effective ways to protect yourself from being bitten by black flies. When you go out in the fresh air, it is worth applying to the skin. Their strong smell and aroma will effectively discourage insects from perching on our skin. Eucalyptus, peppermint, vanilla, rosemary or clove oil will work best. We can also make a homemade insect repellent, including black flies. 10 to 20 drops should be mixed with two tablespoons of base oil, e.g. vegetable. Then rub it on the skin. Thanks to the use of oil, the scent of the oil will last longer, and we will have peace of mind from intrusive napkins for a longer time.
