But hey, I got to watch a sea turtle lay her eggs!

Have you tried an analgesic?

Wait until the 8th year.

Sorry. Goldwater lost and we are beyond a cure. Comprende?

I hope you’re kidding. If not... praying for you that you find other subjects worth your attention rather than a couple of bug bites. Goodness! People are losing their heads and our country is going to hell.

Hot water, the hottest you can stand without scalding yourself. Get in the shower and run it over the bites for several minutes. Itching will stop and once you stop scratching should clear it up.

Ammonia.

There is a product called “Chiggerex” that works very well on insect and chigger bites. I have bought it at Walmart and drug stores.

My Step-Grandmother was a witch with home cures. She always used Witch hazel on bug bites. It could be amazing how the itch would be reduced.

Good thing, because biting blood suckers just love me.

get in a tub with as hot a water as you can stand.
This will stop the itch for 30 minutes to 45 minutes.
If you want longer, apply calamine lotion over the affected area (there is a clear variety if you wish it’s less messy).
Also, Tri-Calm creme in the itch isle of the drug store (should be next to calamine).

Do you have a staph infection? Put on witch hazel and see a dermatologist ASAP.

This stuff.

Rubbing alcohol will kill the itch.

You have mail.

Benadryl anti-itch cream. Sounds like you’re having an allergic reaction. Antihistamines too.

[knittnmom]

Sea turtle - cool!

No see ums - very uncool. Thanks for the thread, though. Have a couple of mosquito bites driving me nuts today. They're located right where the straps to my sandals could irritate them all day. I'm going to try the remedy down-thread involving baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. The Gold Bond anti-itch cream and hydrocortizone cream have both failed me today.

All other advice is good.

But if all else fails, old-hat advice works every time:

1. Pour a shot
2. Drink a shot
3. Repeat until no itch (or no care).
