Few of us are really needing that little extra bit of protein...
I really don't mind the taste of flies it's the consistency that sets me off. They tickle my throat as they go down as well. Spit'em out you say. That means they get to pass over my tongue twice and that's disgusting.
About the only thing I've seen those big "air tunnel" vents in helmets do is to allow bees to get IN your bonnet, but not out until after they have done what bees do after you get them royally irritated.
