I'm sure people in the middle ages where adapted to most of the situations. For example If you don't wash for a few days or sit near a fire mosquitoes are less of a problem. Most towns, inns or taverns where less than 1 days march from the next in medieval Europe, so you would not have to sleep in the woods. There where also seasonal workers who would not live in one place, but move depending on the season to help sow or harvest fields, or work at different cities in their trade to learn new skills from different masters to see different countries.
