I've had a bit of a problem with midges in my place as they're coming through my exhaust vents. It's winter here and I'm near a brook as well so probably their breeding season.
Well today one tries to land on my injection site that was a bleeder so I'm waving my hand trying to slap it and then I've got the needle in the other hand still. ugh. I thought phew that''s the last bug I can see for a bit until I go to test my sugar and one lands on my finger with my drop of blood I was about to put on the test strip.
That's it.... I surfaced sprayed those vents as no **** midge is getting a free feed off me when I'm trying to manage my diabetes. Slack midges at that... can't be bothered biting, just fly around this diabetic lady as she'll have some blood coming out at some point.
Oh I can't say I've ever had this issue before either. lol.
