Steve, are you a linguist?
Where did you come by the arcane knowledge
re the origination of the term "no see 'ems"?

I've only known the term to refer to the tiny, nearly
invisible knat with a viscious bite whose burning itch
intensifies for ten days. Amonia, applied with a swab,
brings some relief.
Known in Mexico as jejenes.
