The first time we learned what those little things can do to a person’s face was out on Richland Chambers Reservoir. Thankfully I heeded the warning and found some Skin So Soft to apply. That kept them off but others in our fishing club didn’t put anything on and they got swarmed by the nasty little buggers.
When I lived nearly up against the Red River, I experienced those gnats in a different way. They are relentless and will constantly try to chew on you. We used Absorbine Jr(roll on), the original Absorbine for horses, and a couple brands of spray-on bug repellent. When you have a job that requires sweating out in the heat, whatever product you apply on your skin to keep the gnats off won’t work very long. During the warmer times of the year I always had pimple type places caused by those nasty Buffalo gnats. You had to constantly reapply any type bug repellent on your skin throughout the day. It was a constant battle to keep the gnats and deer ticks off.
Anyone else ever experienced Buffalo gnats like that?
