Advice: Here's how to avoid becoming an all-you-can-eat buffet for some of the worst biters of summer.
With more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes worldwide, and about 200 in the United States, your bare skin is rarely safe. Some mosquitoes bite at dusk and dawn; others prefer dining during the day.“We call them day-biting mosquitoes and night-biting mosquitoes,” Ware said. “That means you probably can be bitten any time of the day.”, which factors in breeding conditions, gestation periods and weather. Values range from “extreme” to “low” .
When choosing a DEET product, look for 30 percent concentration. You don’t need to go much higher. The CDC said levels above 5o percent do not provide additional protection.The pros of black flies: They are not disease vectors. The cons: Their bites feel like a hard pinch from the meanest kid on the playground.
“Black flies are really good at feasting on us,” Ware said. “They have mouth parts like a cheese grater. They make a little scrape and dab up the blood. It’s very painful.”Black flies are found all over the world. They often congregate in areas with moving water, such as streams and rivers, where they lay their eggs. Only the females bite, and they dine indiscriminately.
“You can be bitten anywhere, but you’re less likely to be bitten by a horse or black fly in downtown Manhattan than you would in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey or on a river in Upstate New York,” Ware said.
