I have bites. Lots of them! 
They're driving me nuts 
I feel like I'm on fire, and I'm a scratcher, which is making it worse 
Can anyone suggest anything that I could put on the bites to try and stop the itch? I don't normally get bitten, and it barely affects me usually, but I've been bitten really badly this time (as in, on one arm between elbow and shoulder, nearly 40 bites) and I'm going batty! Heeelllpppp!! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Ohhh Ginger, I know your frustration, mozzies LOVE me to bits!!!
O.K. this is going to sound like I have completely lost the plot, but.......put toothpaste on them (possibly you don't have some at work though)???!!! It works an absolute treat! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

My Dp is always getting bitten. We use calendula on them as they take away the itch and don't end up leaving a big lump for hours on end. I am sorry I can't relate as Dp seems to fill them up! |

Calendula I don't have, but toothpaste I do! I'll give that a go ...and see if I can hunt down some calendula as well.
Thanks guys! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

| Rubbing ice on them can relieve the itch, i get them all the time, i'm DFs repellant. Tea tree and calendula work too. |

Take a Zyrtec...or Claratyne....or any kind of anti-histamine... you'll stop itching and you won't smell of toothpaste or squished up flower bits...and you won't stick to your clothes.  ------------- |

I use roll on deoderant, might sound weird but it works and it's cheap. ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

Dettol or Savlon are good for taking away the itch too. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
