    I’ve not seen the study referenced, but if I were doing it I’d have cows I painted with white paint, white stripes, black paint, and a control I left unpainted.

      Yes, obviously. But are the flies possibly repelled by the paint? Are the flies even able to bite through the paint?

      Edit: 50% stripes, 50% reduction in bug bites.

      Coincidence? I think not.
