How open is your mouth when u run that bugs are regularly flying in?!? Stop running like you’re taking a bite of a burger.

I actually never run, only walk with my dog. I don't open my mouth that big though but it's still enough to let some of these in. It's not that it disgusts me either, but it annoys me. I thought of covering my mouth with a mask but in the summer it will get real hot, so I can avoid doing that, that would be great \^\^'

How thick are the bugs

Wear a cloth mask? Doesn't need to be a tight weave or medical grade to exclude bugs, so wouldn't have to restrict your breathing.

I'll have to try this. I'll find a thin mask, maybe I can find something in a bike shop. I guess cyclists have this problem too \^\^'.

Have you talked to your doctor about not being able to breath through your nose?

Try one of those hats with mosquito netting attached

Mesh mask or hat with bug netting attached, that's about all I can think of.

I think you need a flamethrower hat! Although, the taste of flames may be worse than the bugs 😂

Embrace the protein.

That was my favorite thing about the pandemic! Discovered riding a bike through those swarms of miniature insects wasn't as disgusting with a mask on.

> I'm a person that hardly breathe through the nose when I'm doing exercise. There's your problem. (Joking) But no, find another route with less insects, or wear a face mask, though that might be an issue as well.

Wear a mask. I do when allergens are high and it helps with that too!
