Mosquito bite relief?!
Question: Mosquito bite relief.?
ok......so i went camping over the holiday weekend and had a great time......except at night.. i know that for some reason i am a delicacy for mosquitoes.. not sure why, but i have come to grips with it.. so oi know to wear pants and spray myself with a high DEET bug spray.. for some reason though, those buggers laughed at the spray and just saw the jeans as an added obstacle.. i have 7 bites on the back of 1 thigh, 6 on each ankle, 8 on my back, and many others on my legs.. they are horrible and they itch so badly! i've tried everything to get the itch to go away.. i tried a hotter than hot bath, baking soda, alcohol......none of it worked.. any other suggestions (not calamine......the smell makes me sick).? thanks for your help!Health Question & Answer
