bugs in eyes!

[ReyC]

Hello all,

So as it’s getting warmer there is more of the clouds of little black flies that only seem to congregate at face-level on paths!

Sometimes I see them coming and can take defensive measures but more often I end up with a mouthful or worse, and eye-ful.

Any advice? Any eye-wear that people find helpful for this? Or is this a fringe annoyance I’ll just get used to?!

Thanks!

You could wear goggles ReyC, the letter C comes to mind, apparently flies have vitamin C if you swallow a fly, not sure if that's true or just a lot of nonsense.

Swallow a 🕷️ to catch a 🦟.....🤪👏😁

I once swallowed a fly when I was cleaning my teeth camping. Not recommended. Wish I had some useful advice. Smoking a cigar as you run? 😂😂😂 (Not a serious suggestion)

haha! Well guess I’ll just squint and try to breathe though my nose (never going to happen!) 🤣

wouldn't flies be worse if you inhaled them through your nose though?

[ReyC Graduate10 in reply to Leotigris]

I guess I’ll let you know!

Perhaps cycling sunglasses?

We all know a song about a lady who swallowed a fly, don't we kiddies? It didn't end well. 🤣
