Harvest mites.

Interesting, ROMILO. I have a lot of red, itchy bumps and have been using Anthisan on them to stop the itching but have no idea what is causing them as I've not seen anything flying around although I've spent a lot of time outside, particularly in the garden. Perhaps it's tiny Harvest mites, also called chiggers apparently.

Does an insect repellent work? I'd like to find one that is organic and natural if possible.
Perhaps someone will have suggestions.

Just looked at some comparison pictures and mine are probably midge bites.

If these are harvest mites, I would expect almost all of the bites to be on parts of the body where clothing is tight, such as top of socks, elasticated parts of underwear, waistbands etc.

OIf that is the case, the best solution I found (after finally - working out what was causing it ((which took me years!)), was to have a really good shower after spending time in the garden.
I can only presume that it removes the critters before they have bitten!
It almost completely eradicated the problem for me.

And yes, those certainly were very red and dreadfully itchy bites!

I used to get these if walking or sitting on the grass. Very irritating.
