you beat me to it 
oatmeal soaks, just sit in it, it'll feel better and i swear by witchhazel, i even use it on my face everyday it decreases the redness and the itching as well, if you refrigerate it, it makes for a nice cooling effect on the bites too. [...i think i can, i think i can, i think i can...] | |

I'm starting to look like that too! Even the Deep Woods Off in't keeping the fuckers away! In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

chillichocaholic said: All three of my kids are allergic to mosquito bites...they come out in HUGE welts and a couple of years ago my daughter got a bit on her ankle and it puffed up to twice its size
 scared the crap out of us!!
Now I give them antihistamines and the vinegar helps to ease the itching...and my daughter just siad the vinegar stings at first, but then it calms down (she's 7 )I'm allergic too. It sucks! I remember I got one by my eyebrow and I could hardly open my eye 'cause it was such a huge welt.  That's why avoid being outdoors a lot during the summer. The worst was last time that I went to the Dominican Republic. Those damn mosquitoes love me  | |
