Ok everybody, thanks for the great advice! I rubbed real AC vinegar on the affected areas and that stung like a Hillary Clinton, but it took a lot of the itch away. The bites are much smaller this morning. Tonight I’m going to try Vick’s salve. The bites are mainly on my feet and ankles, so I’ll smear some on and put on a pair of my husband’s hunting socks. We have a local naturopathic and homeopathic doctor (whom we’ve lovingly dubbed our witch doctor) that recommends Vick’s for everything from toe fungus to dandruff. I’ll chime in tomorrow morning with the results. Happy Saturday!
What also works extremely well for bug bites is the herb plantain. Search it for picture, you’ll recognize it immediately, it grows everywhere. All you have to do is pick a leaf, bruise it between your hands and rub it on the bite. Works very well for all insect bites/stings, many skin irritations, etc.
