NWR bug bites

No see ums are the WORST. I have no advice, I'm just here to sympathize.

I swear by this cream.

After bite stick. Stinks to HOG HEAVEN but I am covered with spider, skeeter, and no see ums also... Engagement party on sat in Cali and I'm LUMMPY!!!

But the stick stops the itch..

If you dab bleach on them it is supposed to take the poison out that makes them itch/sting. My grandmother swears by it. I know it works for ant bites but she says it works for all bites.

@mrsmccoy they're terrible! I always get eaten alive. I pretty much can't be outside past sunset.

@o&I I'll have to try that!

Oatmeal Bath!!!

We use Iverest too

I heard rubbing them with rubbing alcohol helps take the itch away. My mom swears by it but I've never tried it.

A bit of peppermint oil helps. It doesn't really make them go away at all but it will tingle a bit and won't feel so itchy.

Rubbing alcohol!

I could've used this thread a week ago. I look like a meth addict from all the bites/scratches on my legs.

Calamine lotion works great, although the pink gunk can be annoying.

I'm Asian so we use monkey balm and it's the BEST for itchy bug bites!

I had 20+ on my ankles the other week and I happened to be out of hydrocortisone cream. I read that Epsom salt can help take the sting/itch from bug bites. I soaked my feet and lower legs in an Epsom salt bath, and it really did help. I got more hydrocortisone a day later, but the Epsom salt did give me temporary relief so I could fall asleep.

Take Zyrtec or Claritin to help stop the reaction and the bumps will go down.

I've been rubbing hydrogen peroxide on my legs thanks to your suggestions. I figured it's the same thing as rubbing alcohol? Right? It definitely helps but not for very long. I'll be heading to the store tomorrow. I wonder if an off brand allergy pill would help like Claritin?

Whenever I have bites I always take an allergy pill and it helps me tremendously! Normally I buy store brand to save $ and I think they work just as good!

Also love ivyrest!

White spirit. I like Soju best, but vodka or gin will also do it. The colder the better - keep it in the freezer and then soak a tissue and apply to the bites.
