This past weekend it would appear that I was the local blood bank for the mosquitoes and horseflies outside.
*sigh*
I have issues with these pesky insects.
They absolutely love me.
Srsly.
This past weekend I forgot to douse myself in bug spray and I ended up with 30 bites on my legs/feet.
They are swollen, super itchy and my legs look like they have a disease.
*ick*
I have tried everything out there to stop the itch and nothing is working.
Cortaid - nope
wet aspirin - nope
vinegar - nope
Calamine Lotion - nope
Aveeno - only for about 30 minutes
Epson Salt - not much
tape - nope
paste of baking soda - nope
rubbing alcohol - nope
tea bags - nope
Caladryl - nope
Benadryl - er, about one hour (both topical & medicine)
I am trying to hang tough but I am not sure how much longer I can hold out.
As long as I can remember, any mosquito bite I would receive would swell up and itch quite fiercely ( my dad is the same way).
So, here I sit, waiting for these buggers to go down and stop itching.
Please, if you have any ideas for me to try and stop the itch I am more than willing to give them a try.

I'm sorry! [Scratching in sympathy!]
Thanks though. ;-)
I can say that the Solarcaine does work and keeps working for a few hours. Ah, a bit of relief.
