    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 :-(

    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)

    As opposed to the delicious ones?

    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,
    0.36 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.
