Doesn't do squat with flies though. One tip that I picked up years ago and
I do it myself with terrific results is to go totally vegen two weeks prior
to a "field trip". It takes at least two weeks to flush animal fats and
oils out of our body and by converting ourselves to a non-carrion eater our
flesh is less desirable for the flies. Actually what it means is that we
stink less. Of course, a two-clove-a-day garlic habit helps too, but
increases the odor problem. Heavily ingesting cayenne pepper is said to
help too.
Biggest problem though is deciding which is worse: Vegen diet or bugs biting.
