On a recent cross country we named that the human fly paper syndrome (hfps). The warmer and hotter the day and the more applications of sun screen required, the more gnats, no see um's and various other small insects will coat every surface of your body and require scraping off before you can apply more sun screen, and the less likely you are to have anything other than bare hands or a bent stick to scrape them off with.
