I have!
And, in fact, I have been the subject of midge attacks so vicious and unrelenting that complete strangers have come up to me on the streets, on campsites, in coffee shops - just about everywhere and quite literally pressed various midge repellents into my hands, or hastily written down the name of something that they recommend which worked magically for them. None has ever worked for me.
Ironically I was one of these people who very rarely got bitten by anything - horseflies, mosquitoes, midges - nothing ever bothered with me except for the occasional bite. Then after I went through the change my blood composition must have changed or something because I because the main target for the little bar-stewards, keeping everyone else within a five mile radius* midge free.
One year Mr Mice decided he wanted to tour Scotland for a month in the caravan - just us, the dog and the van, on the open road like raggle-taggle-gipsies-O. It was HELL! All of these lovely places and I had my own personal swarm of midges surrounding me. Every bite left a huge bleb - I honestly have never seen anyone else react to midge bites like I did, and everybody was offering remedies. Worse - he refused to come home (he'd promised me he would if I didn't enjoy it) insisting that the "next place would be better". It wasn't. I hardly spoke to him for weeks afterwards.
But thank you for the reminder - I had honestly forgotten what I went through at the prospect of sea, rocks, goats and no people. I'll have to think carefully about it now.
*Estimate - it may have been 10-12 miles. I kept a lot of people safe, anyhow.
