meh, it adds skill expression to swamps, they always follow you once logged in, at some point its just like an game of snake, with moving dragonfly instead of apples, and your tail being able to go through itself,

midges are in essence an anti bot/afk measure, if you could just kill them they wouldnt have that effect, anymore,

also quarantining an village because medges wandered in is kinda funny, in the retarded way,
and it gives jorb an tool to harass people without sparking suspicion of bugs or divine intervention

You are right, I feel like swamp fever should be given by midges that aren't in a swamp. Let's make midges great again. Swamp fever should stack too, so that you can have several fevers going at once.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

you mean like when they where introduced, just flying inside your village and dooming 5 people in the village to hope the fever dosnt go past 300,
desperately killing snakes just to get an 59hhp snakejuice wound that wouldnt heal the fever , potentially getting bitten and gaining another increasing wound, +allergic reaction+nerve damage,

yea that was almost as much fun as when infections got introduced.

What if we had incense that kills or deters Midges.

Arguably torches and puffing on pipestuff should deter midges from getting close
