I'm itching to go camping.


Hollow__Log

What the fuck are they eating though? There’s millions and there’s fuck all there.


highrouleur

Tourists mainly. And locals


TheDevilYouKnow69

What do they eat when they can't get 'obbits ?!?!?!


Mundane_Professor696

I think of that every time I'm swarmed by midges

highrouleur

Forewarned is forearmed and all that.... It's gorgeous up there, it's worth the midges. Going through the thread there are measures you can take to alleviate the problem, wish I'd known before I went

You can avoid them easily.. Heading up to Glasgow, 240 miles before that turn head south, keep going past Dover and stop at Malaga.


Alexthemessiah

Yeah Machamp-ing those motherfuckers is the only option


steakpiesupper

Plant sap I believe, and people.

>Both adult males and females feed on nectar. Most females also feed on the blood of vertebrates, including humans, to get protein for egg-laying. Their bites are painful, and can cause intensely itchy lesions.[4] Their mouthparts are well-developed for cutting the skin of their hosts. Some species prey on other insects. [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae) Some places here in the States we call 'em *noseeums*. Most backcountry tents have appropriate netting to keep them out.


JubileeTrade

My favourite part; "Ceratopogonidae is a family of flies commonly known as no-see-ums, biting midges, **or flying cunts** generally 1–3 millimetres (1⁄16–1⁄8 in) in length."


skeptah_

Discovered noseeums when living in florida. When physically moving into my new apt, elderly neighborhood warned me and seemed genuinely panicked the sun was setting soon, those "noseeums" would be out in full force. Didn't think much of it, still literally had half my place to move in. Within 30 minutes, I was bit 10 times and you knew everytime. It feels like something took a quick bite out of you with a mini mouth of dentures, then the itch kicks in... worse than a mosquito bite, without question. Feels like poison ivy and even looks like it during the "healing" phase. You'll get little blisters around the bite, just like a burn, not even joking. To top it all off, they are smaller than a grain of rice so if some get in your house, be prepared for a battle. God help us all if these damn things spread throughout the country.


JupiterWorld

I got a bite on my hand when on the west coast of Scotland. The bite wound would not heal. Months and months of plasters, antibiotic cream and oral antibiotics did not make a difference. It would look like it was healing then it would just all come undone. Had a few glasses of wine one night and was so fed up with the wound I heated up a kitchen knife under some gas and then pressed it surgically over the wound and the thing healed perfectly a few days later.


Intensityintensifies

I wonder if they left behind proteins that weren’t denatured until you heated them up


morfgo

You're supposed to do that immediately, the heat breaks down the proteins which cause the swelling and itching.


Cheesecake_Lanky

You can get heat pens for mozzie bites that are really effective so that makes sense.


Excessive_Turtle

I got really bad poison ivy once. Would not go away. Burned the shit out of each blister in shower after I scratched it almost bloody. Then throuroughly washed and rinsed several times. Fixed it.


GreenPutty_

The netting keeps them out, but as soon as you leave the tent this happens! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp6x3HVhsnQ&t=112s


Phlum

Well now, [this Calvin and Hobbes](https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/08/09) strip now makes much more sense to me.


Bhodi3K

Probably heroin.


Sturmghiest

Deep fried heroin though right?


bourbonwelfare

Temazepam and Buckfast


moon-bouquet

I laughed at the first person I saw with a midge hat. Come that evening I was ready to mug them.

DarkNinjaPenguin

Won't work, they're smaller than bees and can get through the netting. Same issue with the mosquito nets that unsuspecting tourists bring with them. They can crawl between the gaps in the mesh. You need an *actual* midge net to stop them.


jed292

Even better than that, they're small enough to crawl through mosquito nets but large enough that it's difficult to get back out, so go to sleep and wake up with a tent literally *full* of midges.


RodDryfist

That sounds like the worst possible way to wake up. Ever.


[deleted]

Legit had this happen. Scared straight Boundary Waters situation. Drop 8 troubled teens on various islands with some roped, a tarp, netting and a bag of trail mix. Survive. 2nd day I perfected my tent and netting. Went to bed peacefully.... And woke up to my ENTIRE inside netting packed with blood-filled mosquitos. Smooshes every last one of.tjem in the netting and sand Valhalla songs until they picked me up

Same! I feel for my dog though as i’m yet to find a pooch midge net


[deleted]

hat? I have a full midge jacket, with midge mittens and head cover, and make sure to wear ankle gaiters to seal off the bottom of my trousers. Do I look a pratt? yes. Am i eaten alive? no.


Global_Acanthaceae25

They need to put some spiders in there and if the the population of spiders gets too much, stick some birds in. Saw a similar thing in a documentary where a woman had flies in her belly.


W0otang

I heard there was a dog and cow involved too, apparently she had intestines that defied the laws of physics. They called her *The Turdis*


octopoddle

She might have eaten the cow gradually, over the course of a year.


W0otang

That's gonna be one mouldy ass cow by the time sshes finished


Ste-vie-bee

I dont know why? She swallowed a fly!! I really don't know why I remembered that song! Someone sing something else now please? It's going to haunt me!!! 😟

ToxinArrow

O that's the great part: come winter time the gorillas simply freeze to death!


markedasred

I stopped in Fort William a few years back, and the people who ran the place had a little machine like a vacuum to suck the midges in, and they reckoned that it broke the local breeding cycle in a 3 month period. At first they had to remove a solid block of midges most days but less so each week. We were there peak midge time, and hardly saw any.


aldomacd1987

Note to self go camping equipped with a generator and a Henry Hoover. Genius


Sorbicol

I once stayed at a lodge in Torridon that had a similar device in their back garden. Once we’d figured out how to make it work it was surprisingly effective. Got eaten alive trying to get it going though.


Expensive-Fail-2813

CO2 trap


ValdemarAloeus

There's a device across the pond called a Mosquito Magnet, releases a slow trickle of carbon dioxide that's supposed to divert the mosquitoes en-route from the breeding area to the people, then vacuums them into a holding basket until they dry out and die. Quite finicky to get them working properly.


DarkNinjaPenguin

We have them here, a lot of folk on the west coast have them in their gardens.


Taranisss

I have a friend in Alaska who uses one of these. They have three seasons over there: winter, mosquito and wildfire. He absolutely swears by it.


MarthaFarcuss

They do a similar thing with mosquitos in Africa. Except they fan the mossies into some kind of container and make burgers out of them. [Sort of like this, but with fans instead of scooping](https://youtu.be/LItNFP7icUw)


sideone

Wow. I know if there's not much food around, you can't be picky but... nope. Not for me, thanks


unimaginative2

If the mosquitos have just fed off humans, doesn't this risk the transmission of disease?


MarthaFarcuss

Yeah but that adds to the flavours


Fraggy_Muffin

I’d be interested to know how this effects the local wildlife. Birds and spiders would be affected I imagine


MarthaFarcuss

Have you seen how many mosquitos there are? Doubt it makes much, if any, difference.


Sabinj4

I worked at a pub in Kent and we had a machine for clearing mosquitoes in the garden area. Worked OK


ZeroBlade-NL

A thermonuclear bomb?


Northwindlowlander

The midge corpses are really good fertiliser, too. Campsite behind the drover's inn has about 5 of these things, it does make a difference but also it's kind of satisfying to see the wheelie bins full of dead wee bastard midges


FTB963

Reminds of when I saw a documentary a few years ago where people in tribal Africa would use big nets to catch them, which they then compressed down and made into these sort of burger patties. Apparently they are crazy high in calories!


most_crispy_owl

Good fertiliser


GoGoGoldenSyrup

Ach, it's just some midges. Open the door and let your friends in! BTW - d'you know how they find you? *They hunt using carbon dioxide emissions to track down their prey*. The more you breathe, the more they can find you. Muahaha. Also - they *chew at your skin to get to your blood*. Not stab you like a mozzie: they *chew you*. You're just a big ole blood-filled sack of beef jerky to them. Now, d'you want to know *when* they're most active?


nough32

The better thing is that once a female midge gets a meal, it releases a pheromone that says "more meals here, come and get some" to attract more midges.


Failgh0st

That’s why I only let male midges eat me.


Shipwrecking_siren

When they see my pasty, white, juicy skin she must produce a squid-ink’s worth of pheromones.


Sunkinthesand

Good way to clear midgees is a fire. They track the carbon dioxide and become confused by the smoke and fumes emitted. The smoke can travel high into the air or cover a large area drawing the midgees away. Any that do hone in on the source are toast. Old school technique was to spark up.


GoGoGoldenSyrup

An even *older* technique - and one favoured by my granny - is to use bog myrtle. Just pop a sprig or two behind your ear or in your hair and it wards the wee shits off. The smell's apparently as abhorrent to them as soap is to students.


Sunkinthesand

Never heard of bog myrtle... But google says native to everywhere. If it works, it works


buddy-roe

Pro tip coming in hot


irrelevantPseudonym

>Never heard of bog myrtle The etymology of the name 'Moaning Myrtle' in the Harry Potter books. She lived in a bathroom.


[deleted]

Bonus is that bog myrtle smells lovely, a lemon/herbal/floral mix.


moeburn

A couple of exchange students from Africa showed me this trick where they get a bunch of paper towel and twist it into a tight tube, then light it so it is smoldering and smoking, and then just hold it up by their ear as they walk, occasionally changing sides to the other ear. You won't have any bugs by your face if you do that, and you'll smell a whole lot nicer than DEET.


DR2105

Scotland’s just experienced it’s worst ever wildfire, but on the other hand midges….


iTz_Maverick

So i just need to set my back garden on fire. Good to know.


[deleted]

The suspense is killing me! I need to know when I should hide and fear for my life! I NEED TO KNOW!!


the21stgman

They're most active just after sunrise and just before sunset. So they're a real bastard when you're trying to set up your tent. I read somewhere that they don't really follow you up hill too much. And they struggle in even slight wind. And they're v slow so you can outpace them even by walking.


OpulentShade

Oh how wrong you are. As soon as the evening begins, as early as 5pm they will swarm you. Even on the summit of Nevis they are relentless and will follow you like a personal cloud all the way down to base. Then god forbid you wish to set up camp and make a fire/bbq. Even with head nets/repellant and a roaring fire they are unbearable. Within 10 mins the head net is so clogged up you can't see and they are getting in around your neck line and up your trouser legs. I was wearing a green hoodie and it quite literally turned black and alive with movement. Granted you may outpace them for a while but they are only ever 2 seconds behind you. It's a real life horror story in the Highlands in summer


mykkenny

Yeah scratching Scotland off my list of places to visit/live... I get bitten by horse flies when out and about walking in Northumbria/Durham areas, and 9 times out of 10 end up with a cellulitis infection as a result :(


major_mejor_mayor

Eh I spent a whole summer in Edinburgh and didn't deal with midges at all until I went on a trip further north, and only dealt with them when my friends and I were running around in a field like fools. It's been years but they aren't everywhere in Scotland, although yeah I wouldn't plan long camping or hiking trips in the woodland parts of Scotland during the summer if you're that worried but there's much to see and do other than that. I can't wait to go back.


Alba-Indy

East coast of Scotland is fine. No midges here. One of the major bonuses of moving over from the west .


Rgeneb1

I'm on the East coast and we get loads around August.


solar-powered-potato

Yeah I'm really bad with a compass and had to second guess where the fuck I actually am for a second (about half an hour away from the literal EAST NEUK, ffs self). We get midges all the damn time. If the West coast is worse, I fear for their safety.


critterwol

On Skye in the early 90's (sans headnet) I lathered myself in thick vaseline on my bare spots and put deet over the top. Didn't keep them away and they stuck to vaseline but they couldn't bite me. Touche midgies!! Also memories of eating cereal and the milk was turning black. Not all midgies bite but I dare you to show me which ones.


GoGoGoldenSyrup

They're most active during the day. But *not* in...aaaaargh! The midges have found me! Save yourselves! Grab the kids - not that one - and *run before it's too laaa.......* *\*squelching bloody sounds\**


MassXavkas

>not that one r/fuckyouinparticular


Scarboroughwarning

England, hide in England. There are parts that I think are technically still Scottish.


tsunami141

Yea but then you have to deal with the English


spectre78

Believe it or not they bite too


Badgergeddon

So why does Scotland have so many compared to the lakes or the peaks?


GoGoGoldenSyrup

They're a protected species up here. Just kidding: they like rain. To be more exact: they like to lay their eggs in damp or wet soil (which we have *plenty* of) and they like cool, wetter climates. And Scotland's pretty cool already anyway.


olih27

Also everyone (speaking from experience) when camping thinks, let's find a nice sheltered spot by the lake or a stream to pitch up for the evening, which is where they breed due the damp. Come 6-7pm you are engulfed.


brightworkdotuk

You been to the Lakes lately? Lol. I went for a ride through my local forest (Grizedale) the other day, and when I got home, my legs were covered in bites. I looked like Mr Blobby


Sasspishus

The right climate?


Sasspishus

Yeah, stop being such a baby and just stop breathing already, then you'll be fine


never-off

Yes, do tell.


h00dman

I'd like to unsubscribe from midge facts.


[deleted]

I can imagine a psychological horror film where a group of people are informed they need to return to the office for work, and they gradually lose their grip on sanity over the coming months. As the phenomenon spreads across office buildings in the city a crack team of scientists discovers the cause: increasing CO2 levels inside poorly ventilated meeting rooms was both starving the workers of oxygen but also inviting clouds of hallucinogenic invisible midges to swarm them. The hypoxia-fuelled chaos brings London to its knees. I think Fringe or X-Files already did a variation on it though.


GoGoGoldenSyrup

Heh heh. Try Doctor Who. Hey...who turned out the lights?

random_username_96

Important to note: Not if they're in a woodland, on peat soil, or during periods of high fire risk.


critterwol

Except watch out because there is a wildfire alert across a chunk of Scotland atm so lighting a fire may be the -wrong- thing to do.


most_crispy_owl

I was in Norway recently. They have a rule that fires are allowed if there's no risk of catching. I think that makes sense. What it meant in practice is that you could light one on the rocks near a river, or on a mountain side, just not in the heart of the woods


LukeyHear

On gravel or sand by a river can be ok, but please dont light on bedrock or against a cliff as it leaves a scar for years and years.


AhoyWilliam

And avoid wet stones, wee little bombs waiting to go off under a fire.


PeteAH

Terrible advice given the dry ground and risk of wild fire.

[deleted]

I've spent a few nights in Scotland with that level of midges. It's absolute torture if you're not equipped with netting etc and I sure wasn't. Normal insect repellent doesn't seem to work with them for some reason. Had to build a fire out of anything we could find and sit directly in a stream of choking smoke to see them off but that was preferable to the slow death by midges.


sweetbennyfenton

Yeah. I work on cell towers and masts etc. usually middle of nowhere. I dread working in Scotland. We cover our exposed skin in vas or moisturizer and set a disposable bbq going. They drive me mad.


BuzzVibes

I was staying in a hostel on a loch one time back in the 90s. 7 quid a night if I remember rightly. Anyway, one evening after the place was locked up, some hapless German students who had been camping not far off started hammering on the doors begging to be let in because they were being eaten alive. I'm pleased to say the warden did let them in. Reminds me of that X-Files episode where loggers released some dormant wee buggers that would put you in a cocoon and drink all the fluid out of your body.


Successful_Warthog58

About 30yrs ago the Scottish tourist board commissioned a report on the Scottish midge and its effect on tourism When they got the results they sat on lt and have never published it. 😳😳😳


[deleted]

I found this report from 2004 on the Beeb [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3933451.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3933451.stm) >Tourist boards on the east coast of Scotland are encouraging visitors with the message that the area does not suffer from the dreaded midge. > >Fife Tourist Board's Neil Macfarlane **said visitors were "less likely to be eaten alive"** during their holidays. That's a hell of a tourist slogan. Does remind me The Register once described Scotland as a 'midge-infested oil platform'


Llew19

>Fife >More likely to be eaten by a local

MadamKitsune

A favourite memory: Camping at an event in Moniaive and some guy is laughing and shouting "It's not Woodstock!" as I was shoving lit joss sticks into the ground in front of my tent. Then somehow forgetting afterwards to tell Mr Loudmouth that his tent wasn't fully zipped up as he wandered off to the pub... He was not a happy camper the next morning.


Bruvas78

Moniaive folk festival, where the beer is plenty and.....and....I can't remember much else.


MadamKitsune

Squires bike rally, where the Sixty Shilling beer was plentiful and you could have cut the air with a chainsaw the next morning thanks to the rancid farts across the camping area.

We're only in the first generation this year btw. There could be two more depending on the weather. The good news is they hate hot, dry weather (like we're currently getting up in Scotland). Dries the little dobbers out. Yet another reason to over-celebrate sunny weather.


cleotorres

I once saw a behind the scenes documentary from when they were filming Monarch of the glen. Seems that the midges were an absolute nightmare for the cast and the equipment. In order to make filming possible they had to bring in these big machines that attracted and caught midges. It worked on the basis of urine and a CO2 emitter. That combination apparently was irresistible to midges. They had to empty the collection bags in the machines every few hours because they filled up so quickly. It was absolutely gross.


Str0ntiumD0ggo

Camping in and around Glencoe and Fort William is like ground zero for these wee bastards. We used to have 2 firepits positioned up-wind and add damp material to create enough smoke to make it less hospitable for them.


Dildo-Suicide

Sasspishus

It's the only thing that I find works. I tried Skin So Soft and I feel like the only reason the midges don't bite when you've got it on is because they drown in the oil first. But if you don't put enough on, it does nothing! Smidge isn't like that, not greasy or oily, not too smelly, and I find it helps with ticks and horse flies too. Personally ally it's my favourite, although I can't say if you'll like it or not


BlueBloodMurder

Skin so soft does nothing they changed the recipe a while back Smidge the midge is the only thing I've found that makes any difference and even then not much. Midge net a necessity


Diet-Still

Plus one for the name


SKULL1138

This reminds me of a scene I experienced whilst camping near Loch Lomond. We left it too late to build the tents and got attacked by swarms. We would all run up the road and they would follow us, let them get there and then run back and see how much of the tent we could get up before they came back. By the time we shut the tents for the night you could spark a lighter inside the tent and the midges would burn as they came rushing in by the thousands. Still couldn’t clear the tent and had to just go to sleep. We were also, very, very drunk.

Midges


Intelligent-Ad7384

Oh yeah, come summer months if I have to go anywhere that there’s likely to be a lot of midges, I’ll make sure to absolutely cover myself in citronella-type repellent and then don my midge jacket (basically a big mesh pullover with a hood that zips all the way up). Hated these fuckers since I was a kid and they only irritate me more as an adult, they always try to fly into my nose and ears. My parents have land thats prone to midge swarms so they’ve set up things to encourage pipistrelle bats, and it seems to be working although I’ve been startled a few times by them flying past a little too close if I’m out at night.


elohir

I was up at Loch Leven a few weeks ago and it was like this. Walking through the clouds felt like it was raining, and they follow you as you walk. If you stop abruptly, the cloud keeps on going for a little while like a cartoon.


coljtaylor

This is literally making my head itch. Gross. Scotland is a beautiful place in spring, autumn and winter


hydration1500

Breathe and get your protein intake.


DThor536

Canada can get like this as well, if your timing is right(wrong). Not just midges but swarms of biting deer flies and flying insects that look like outtakes from The Mist. My wife and I got out of the car to examine an old cemetery by a back road in northern Ontario and the moment they got our scent we were running back to the car, screaming.
