Midges are small, flying insects that can be a nuisance, especially during the summer months. Their bites can cause itchy, red bumps that can be uncomfortable and unsightly. Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to avoid midge bites and enjoy the outdoors without worry.
Midges are attracted to moisture and warmth, so they are most active in humid environments and during the evening and early morning hours. They are also attracted to dark colors, so it is best to wear light-colored clothing when you are in areas where midges are present. In addition, midges are attracted to the smell of sweat, so it is important to keep your skin clean and dry.
