Midge defence? (lemmy.world)

If anyone has any good tips on beating the midges, please share them!

I got absolutely devoured this weekend up by Loch Latrine (edit: Katrine) (completely forgot it was midge season, so I was unprepared).

In the company of my family, I can only find some small comfort in the evident fact that I protect them by being so fucking delicious that the little flying bastards are gagging for a piece of me and so ignore them. And no, I am not prepared to be a ritual sacrifice for you and yours as well. Fuck, I hate the midges.

Remnants of my small child, we sacrificed her to the midges to save ourselves. RIP

Based on your picture, they were not satisfied. Do better next time.

Try bringing a bigger child next time.
