Likewise, ticks haven't been bad this year either
Deer ticks aren't bad up here. However, I was 60 miles south of here last month and got one in a very personal spot, which I had to use a mirror to see. I am 2/3 of the way through a round of antibiotics which is causing problems of it's own... but still better than Lymes.

By black flys are they what a lot of people call gnats? If so they are coming out and getting bad. They are the kind the vanilla bug spray helps.

Black flies are not gnats. BF leaves a welt like a horsefly/deerfly but it's itch lasts for weeks. And you feel them biting.

Thank you. I wasn't sure what a gnat is.

Vitamin B, don't eat bananas , DEET if it's bad enough.
Black flies are just starting in NH. I take vitamin B and eat bananas for the potassium to fight leg cramps.
