I am immediately beset by horseflies as soon as I hit the driveway for a run, every day this summer. Does anyone have this [censored] happening to them? It's disturbing every run I have; I am either pulling the things out of my hair, swatting them off me, or having them buzz into my ear as one yet again nets itself in my hair. It happens whether I have my hair in a ponytail (it's fairly long), loose, or I have a baseball cap on--do they hate the Red Sox? I don't smell flowery or bad, my laundry detergent is Tide and I don't wear bright colors. I have no idea why they are so attracted to me, except I can see the difference in a crowd--I am always the one person bugs, not just horseflies, go for first. I hate the little freaks, about as much as I hate using insect repellant--it's always getting in my eyes with sweat.
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do about these bugs, or can name the least eye-stinging bug repellant on the market?

No idea, but I hate them. I've considered dusting my cap with Off before a run, but mostly I try to run fast enough that they find another victim.
