The Mosquitos have eaten me alive!

Other than perhaps putting ice on them, or an antihistamine (benadryl, caladryl) lotion, I have no other suggestions. Like anything else, keep hydrated for your condition now. Call your doctor if you do not get to feeling better, you may have contracted a virus from the bites. I take a lot of B vitamins, it is supposed to help keep them away, but this year is not as good a help. Use a spray bottle filled with generic original Listerine mouthwash, it seems to repel them, and it also will disinfect the bites and calm them. I wish you all the best.

Hi Sandra, to stop the mossies biting try 'mosquito milk', I have found for me that it is the only thing which stops them biting, I buy it online. It has worked for me whilst I have lived in Greece which is saying something as mossies adore me. They managed to get me this year though a few times as we have a new bigger mossie which bites mid morning when I was caught unprepared. So if they still manage to get you however much you want to don't scratch them or they can become infected. Smell like a chip shop and put some vinegar on them, the Greeks even recommend that as a mosquito repellant too but who could stand the smell? Then try to avoid the sun as it makes them start itching worse again. Garlic, vitamin B, marmite, anything like that which is supposed to work, forget it. If you have a really bad reaction you can treat them with an extremely painful cortisone injection but it really is a last resort, takes your mind off the bites though.

I hate the mosquitos very much,someday i woke up in the early morning and found 5 mosquito bits,my daught can not sleep very well in that night,in the second moring i found 12 mosqutio bites,i was very sad ,she is just 13 months and do not know what is mosqutito,but the itch can not make her sleep,i hate the mosquito.

hope the bites are better. If you are going out and don't want to be bitten- either use spray with deet (effective but 100% deet will melt plastic) plus these sprays are generally good for other things as well like ticks. If you want more homeopathic spray lavender, orange oil, lemon oil, eucaluptus oil or citronella all work as insect repellents. The orange peel thing mentioned earlier works since the oils in the peel repel mosquitos. Also nice since these things smell good and are generally safe for use. Once bitten, baking soda paste on bites can help. Also for cases of lots of bites, a bath with salts will help or if you happen to be near the ocean, go for a swim in the salt water. The salt water helps to draw moisture and toxins from the skin so it helps with the bites and stings.

Hi sandra, firstly try to get this thing out of your mind. This will help you heal the current bites faster. Divert your attention from the topic. I just found a few home remedies you can try on - * Do not scratch the area even if it is tooooo itchy. * Try the cool compress method where you have ice packed in thin towel and placed onthe itchy spots. * Did you try calamine lotion? * Apply vinegar ont he affected areas * Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it on the spots. Tip: Use the milder remedies at sensitive areas. Next time you go out, apply brannded mosquito repellent that can help you stay out of mosquito bites.

I thought I was the only one with bugs bite problems. I got bit by black flies about 80 times that I counted,true. And yes you feel ill too and I had an allergic reaction too, did the same as you did, took antihistamines no pain killer, but I really thought that my immune system had gone down the drain. I still scratching myself some. I did put on my skin some tea tree oil the kill the itch and then it got very dry skin, now I put some aloe vera lotion, and it helps . I'm using bugs repellent now.

Mosquite repellant lotions are the best...I always have them handy at home coz we are famous for having mosquitoes here in Calcutta. I have kind of got immune to them but if they are really bothering you, you can apply some soothing lotion, dont scratch them, they tend to get inflamed more and just wait for them to subside.

Someone said above to use Vinegar. That's the best! I keep a small bottle of it and cotton balls on hand at all times. It takes the itch away almost instantly.

Back then I ignored the bites of mosquitos in my body because dengue is not common that time. I always bitten by mosquitos when we are still live in the city. My mother always told us to use mosquito nets but it bothers me a lot. Now that rainy season is coming up here in the Philippines the cases of Dengue going to rise up so what we do we don't go to the places which have so many grass and we don't leave water stagnant. To protect myself I use mosquito coil, oil, or lotion.

lol wtf i woke up with like 5 mosquito bites on a 2 inch radius of each other i knew i shouldn't have camped
