I've played em. We did one of those outdoor festival gigs in South Georgia a while back. I was drenched in sweat and the gnats swarmed around me like a cloud. I felt like pigpen from Charlie Brown.
Drink a lot of water. Bring extra towels. Some baby powder on your hands helps. The thing that saved me, I'm quite sure, was playing coated strings. Elixir's in my case. At least I was still able to keep my fingers moving.
Best of luck!
