We went camping and got absolutely ruined by them and I now think the damage model is accurate

Did you get several allergic reactions at the same time sapping you of all of your strength and agility?

Not sure how close Sand Flies are to midges but they led to one of my worst nights I've ever had. Was forced to go fishing on a 3 day trip and the sand flies were able to get through our rather tight tent mesh, maybe even through the nylon seems by how many of the fuckers were attacking us. Trying to hide in sleeping bags and covering your face and they still get in, biting and itching everywhere. Led to an asthma attack and I ended up sleeping in the car for 2 days.

If there's one thing we should remove from this world it should be all these terrible bugs.

I have also seen someone who could barely walk because of reactions to sand fly bites that resulted in infections needing antibiotics so yeah, she had a pretty big str and agi debuff there.

Itchy bites probably lead to a greater int and per debuff for me; I'm distracted by the itching, I'm sleeping badly and waking myself up scratching, I'm annoying everyone in the vicinity more than usual (cha debuff too?).

i should mention that I have been camping plenty, just that place has never had them (at least never had enough to be noticed) in the 25-ish years i've been camping there. experienced them for bits and spurts during an afternoon elsewhere, but man, a few days of being bug food sure is something else

it is truly ass yes, but building a big roaring fire and basking in the smoke really does wonders (if you happen to camp somewhere that allows fires or has designated fire pits)

there's also rubbing pine or spruce needles on your clothes, often i go for both. raagh!
