Make sure to pour out any standing water where you live. Okay, so they got you! That itching can drive you crazy!! Here are 4 suggestions from lifehacker.com to relieve your discomfort.
Suggestion #1: Take Benadryl. It's effective against various allergies, and will relieve your discomfort.
Suggestion #2: Apply aloe. we know it's effective on burns. It also helps relieve the itch of insect bites. Aloe from the plant is preferable to Aloe gel.
Suggestion #3: Toothpaste. If you're camping & don't have Benadryl or aloe, apply toothpaste & let it dry.
Suggestion #4: Salt. Make a paste out of water & salt. apply & let it dry. By the way, it may sting a little at firs, especially if you've been scratching.
We all know the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Apply repellent, and eliminate as much standing water as you can. Avoid wearing dark colors. They attract them.
