So, now that the weather is warming up, a lot of insects are flying outside and it really annoys me when I walk my dog. I'm a person that hardly breathe through the nose when I'm doing exercise. So I can't avoid opening my mouth and well, it's always full of insects everywhere I go.
Do you have any kind of tips to avoid this?

How open is your mouth when u run that bugs are regularly flying in?!? Stop running like you’re taking a bite of a burger.
Wear a cloth mask? Doesn't need to be a tight weave or medical grade to exclude bugs, so wouldn't have to restrict your breathing.
I actually never run, only walk with my dog. I don't open my mouth that big though but it's still enough to let some of these in. It's not that it disgusts me either, but it annoys me. I thought of covering my mouth with a mask but in the summer it will get real hot, so I can avoid doing that, that would be great ^^'
Try one of those hats with mosquito netting attached
Mesh mask or hat with bug netting attached, that's about all I can think of.
I think you need a flamethrower hat! Although, the taste of flames may be worse than the bugs 😂

How thick are the bugs
Have you talked to your doctor about not being able to breath through your nose?
> I'm a person that hardly breathe through the nose when I'm doing exercise.
There's your problem. (Joking)
But no, find another route with less insects, or wear a face mask, though that might be an issue as well.
I'll have to try this. I'll find a thin mask, maybe I can find something in a bike shop. I guess cyclists have this problem too ^^'.
Embrace the protein.
That was my favorite thing about the pandemic! Discovered riding a bike through those swarms of miniature insects wasn't as disgusting with a mask on.
Wear a mask. I do when allergens are high and it helps with that too!
