Yes, vinegar does work, but it's temporary relief maybe half an hour or so. Drench your legs with vinegar as often as needed. I hate to tell you this but those bites can burn & itch for two weeks. Try not to scratch your legs as that will make it worse and last longer. Tom never scratches his and the bites disappear in a few days.

I now have a bottle of Skin So Soft by Avon that I use in places prone to have no see ums. They come out at dusk and hang around water. Yes, they like pools to and are small enough to travel through screens.

This is the first I've heard of these nasty bugs being in TV. I won't be sitting outside at country clubs unless I rub the Skin So Soft on my legs before hand. Also they do bite your arms, neck and face. I have been covered head to toe with bites.

Nasty, painful little bugs. It's worth a shot to try the blow dryer ideal or vinegar. Perhaps both and remember do NOT scratch them.
