    I'm a mouth-breather, my mouth is always open because my
    nose is nearly always blocked (hay fever etc.). I had a
    great ride today but I reckon I ingested about a kilo of
    flies and other assorted bugs courtesy of the open mouth. I
    even had to stop to get a bee out of my hair after it went
    through one of the slots in my helmet. Luckily it was
    stunned :-) and I got it out before it got too annoyed.

    Question is, do I put up with the additional protein(?)
    intake or, god forbid, do I wear a mask :-)

    I only ask because the biggest fly-strike today was when I
    went through a farmyard and I'm fairly sure, from the smell,
    where most of the flies had been dinning out :-(

    Later

    How about allergy medication? I never had a problem until
    moving to eastern VA two years ago. After multiple sinus
    infections, the doc put me on zyretec and it cleared me
    right up. Don't have to take it when I'm out of the area so
    its obviously something local. Worth a shot, though a little
    extra protein rarely hurts, eh?

    it's a 'reality' show here in the states where sometimes the
    contestants eat bugs (usually nasty ones)

    for sharing!

    More on eating bugs: There are 1,462 recorded species of
    edible insects. Doubtless there are thousands more that
    simply have not been tasted yet. 100 grams of cricket
    contains: 121 calories, 12.9 grams of protein, 5.5 g. of
    fat, 5.1 g. of carbohydrates, 75.8 mg. calcium, 185.3 mg. of
    phosphorous, 9.5 mg. of iron, .36 mg. of thiamin, 1.09 mg.
    of riboflavin, and 3.10 mg. of niacin.

    My long-lost cat used to come running whenever I'd alert him
    to a cricket in the house; I let him feast in peace.
