This might be a little strange

When I walk there is a certain place on a road where flys just follow me. They are constantly around my head and it is very annoying not to mention gross. Any ideas on how to prevent this? Thanks!

    Insect repellent? Not very nice on your face but better than flys! Also, sunglasses can make them less annoying... and if you felt like running, for some reason they don't follow you as much, except for when you stop for the break haha

    Are you sure they're not gnats? How big are they? When I walk by the creek, there's always a giant swarp of gnats. Gross & I hate them 'cause when I was 10, one flew into my eye and it hurt like a mother and didn't come out 'til the next day. Ergh.

    Shower!!! LOL just kidding!

    I live in an area where that happens a lot, more so as the warm weather gets here. Just keep you mouth closed and jog through the "thick" spots.

    Cool that you continue to walk and get your exercise in - keep it up!
