In my opinion, the worst are the midges or sandflies. They bite you and (if you are like me) you come up in welts that itch like crazy and last for up to a week.
Combat them with any type of insect repellant. If you do get bitten Ive found Tea Tree Oil works well to get rid of the bumps and an antihistamine (like Telfast) will stop the itching within hours.
Flies are easy, just put up with them, they wont kill you.
Mozzies suck (lol), but most repellants will fix them, and the Tea Tree Oil is good for thier bites as well.
Im with Dingo on this one, nothing special here that you have to really worry about so long as you have a clue. Nothing like the huge-ass mozzies they had in Russia on the Long Way Round video...scary.
