They are a little ansy and will start letting you know that you are a home wrecker. I remember one time I was doing a flower shot with a 15mm with my head in a hill. It took me a while to figure out where all the fire was coming from. A few minutes of brushing them out of my scalp and it hurt for a couple of days. What's the moral, if you have allergies or have unusual swellings when the creatures bite, then you need to walk carefully through the plains. For some of us, it is merely unpleasant. Others, life threatening.
