As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors (and someone who got hit with Lyme disease), it's astonishing how often I forget to apply insect repellent. Just the other night, I spent the last half of a five-mile walk in a thick, annoying cloud of houseflies. Irritating, but at least they don't bite. Not like horseflies... Now those things know how to bite! I've watched them land on my sleeve and start gnawing through the fabric.

The best advice for living a healthy, well-adjusted life eat your vegetables, get a good night's sleep, politely decline when the Jagerbombs appear never really changes. Other nuggets, such as how much protein you should be eating or how to maximise workouts, seem to change every year. But as we wonder whether we should really give sauerkraut another go, science marches on, making tiny strides towards improving our understanding of what's helpful.
