I've encountered unbearable mosquito scenarios in Florida, but also Colorado, Asia, Australia, etc. Recently in Broome, Western Australia, a brisk walk wouldn't stop them from biting through clothes - my legs were riddled with bites and my scalp was covered with their bodies and my blood. That was on par with the Everglades in Florida. Horrific.
But noseeums (biting midge or sand fly in Australia) are possibly worse. You don't see, hear or really feel them biting you, but then later the itch endures for a couple of weeks afterwards. Last couple of times, I thought often that having my skin surgically removed would be preferable to another week of the itching.
