Gnat Season: The Tiny Pest That Spreads Pink Eye

Summer’s here, and so are the tiny, relentless eye gnats—especially down South. These non-biting pests are drawn to the moisture around your eyes, nose, and ears, treating your face like a buffet. They breed in damp, disturbed soil, thrive in humid weather, and can even spread pink eye by transferring bacteria from infected eyes to healthy ones. DEET won’t work—they’re not biting, they’re just feasting on your natural secretions. And they’re not picky: humans, animals, anyone producing eye moisture? Fair game. This season, expect them everywhere. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
