Most of my trek involved getting bombarded by flies. It was as if it were perfect conditions for the hatch. A river and heat. There are a number of stressors on a trek I am particularly sensitive. Apart from blisters on the bottom of my feet or rain/scorching sun, bugs (flies, mosquitos and bed bugs) are probably the worst. Today I seriously considered packing it in. I kept telling myself if I walk long enough, the conditions will change where I am no longer dealing with the flies. In fact I did gain elevation and the flies let up some. The other fact is that its June in the mountains and this is just a fact of life.
