OMG, this is so gross. I haven't eaten any. I try to remember to breath through my nose and out my mouth. I thought that was the way you were suppose to breath while exercising. I couldn't imagine smiling and having bug stuff between my teeth. LOL

I would probably puke involuntarily if I swallowed one. Or be like Brandy and have a gagging coughing fit trying to get it out. LOL

I have been hit by them, but before when I use to ride quite frequently and now that I am riding again, so far, (knock on wood) I have not eaten or even gotten any in my mouth.
