Subj: RE: Black flies and Appalachian trail networks

Date: 25-Jan-1994
Posted-date: 25-Jan-1994

While I can't respond to hiking the Appalachian Trail, I can respond to
dealing with black flies.

They actually bight with sawing mouth parts as opposed to sting, puncture, etc.
Hungry as they may be, many people have had success with applying the Avon
product Skin-So-Soft either at full or partial strength. I live in an area
with black flies and travel to the Adirondacks, Canada, and Maine where large
numbers of black flies torment the unprepared. While I don't think they travel
in swarms, they do hatch in large numbers. Mid-May through mid-June can be
particulariy nasty times in the northern areas the AT passes through. I use
Skin-So-Soft (SOS) at home and when
backpacking and canoeing in these areas with really good results.
