Fall brings oak leaf itch mites bite area residents
Kansas State University Extension official Marlin Bates says oak leaf itch mites have returned for a second year, spreading more widely as fallen leaves host a midges linked cycle. Physicians note bites cause red welts while Bates advises protective clothing and showers after contact. repellents offer little help. The mites decline as the season ends, not expected to linger into frost.
