My agony of No See- Um Bites!

So over the Fourth we went to Greer! had a lovely time until THIS! a few days after we had got back my ankles and legs just started itching like no other, I was so miserable and it was driving me nuts.. had allot of medical advice from everyone and noting seem to help, first started out taking benedryl and putting cortisone creme on them then then it went to using caladryl both the pink kind and clear somewhat relief and then by Saturday I could not stand it any longer and finally checked me into a Dr. I told him I went fishing down by the stream and this is what happen to me a few days later, I said I thought they were no- see um bites and he looked at me pretty funny and started laughing, like i was crazy (it was a fun laugh) I know Ariz. doesn't have chiggers so Boyd said that his Grandpa always called them no see- ums I told the Dr. I was serious and that he could learn all about them on google! any who we had some good laughs but he knew i was miserable so he told me i need a stronger antihistamine and a steroid for the swelling and then told me to get some Aveno to put on them, they are finally feeling better as long as i take the antihistamine for the itching, but it makes me pretty tired but thats okay i am always ready for a good night sleep, nothing less i am just glad that i am finally feeling alittle relief, I learned a valuable lesson and that is always spray on the DEET bug spary before you go near the water..... never again will I go without doing this I was one MISERABLE girl....
