You so going to thank me for this....

There is nothing I've found that works like this stuff.

It puts a barrier over the area and it even help when your clothes rub the area.

Benadryl's best product ever IMO...

If you will use this along with the cream it works really well.

You could also try some straight vinegar or make a milk and baking soda paste. A paste made from meat tenderizer and a dab of water sometimes works too.

you giving her a recipe to catch a man or get rid of bug bites? ;)

Ha ha. :P Actually Scott, I heard about these home remedies but I've never tried them. I just thought it would be nice to know if they work. Where is she? I was hoping for a report by now. :D

[Scott D]

probably out attracting mosquitoes ;)

[GottaHavePride]

Vinegar works. It also works if you've been stung by a jellyfish. The acid neutralizes the stuff that makes you itch and/or writhe in pain.

[Scott D]

not scratching neutralizes it too ;)

[OUinFLA]

absorbine jr. works for bites
Immediatly.
Especially for fire ant bites.

[soonerboomer93]

so bugs like potato and guiness, but dislike bagpipes?

anything else i can learn?

[SicEmBaylor]

You put rubbing alcohol on an arm full of bug bites?
Man...you must have a high threshold for pain.

I'm allergic to Benadryl. My only allergy. Aint that a B?

I'm allergic to the allergy medicine.

I'm allergic to the allergy medicine.

But if it's the only thing you're allergic to then why would you need it? ;)

This pollen is killer though. We haven't had rain in like 3 weeks and my red truck is now completely yellow.

[TopDaugIn2000]

went to the pharmacy to pick up the spray, talked to the pharmacist and he said if the benedryl cream didn't work, the spray wouldn't either. he told me to get something with hydrocortizone in it, picked up a cream, and it seemed to help a little. still not 'itch free' by any means though.

this is irony from a guy who lets one single female he hasn't slept with or is related to keep his testicles in a jar on her mantle.

[TopDaugIn2000]

heh

and alcohol stings a little at first, but I figure it helps dry them up.

besides, I went head to head with a semi and walked away....a little rubbing alcohol don't scare me.

[StoopTroup]

You shoulda got the spray.

Pharmacists...

What do they know?

I hope your feeling better anyhow.

[TopDaugIn2000]

they're getting a little better, but still itchy....nearly a week later.


you bet your a$$ I'll use bugspray on tomorrow's ride!!!!

But I have slept with her. I think that's the root of the problem actually.

twin sleeping bags in the same tent as her parents doesn't count.

Well, there was a the pitching of a tent....

[StoopTroup]

If you don't use a tent...remember to use bug spray.

I'm just saying....:D

[SicEmBaylor]

Heh, the first time I came close to going camping we had to turn back and call it off since I forgot to bring a uh...rain flap.

[mikeelikee]

Daug, the best thing I've found to put on 'skeeter and chigger bites to ameliorate the itching is Rhuli Gel, a clear, alcohol-based gel that comes in a tube. Rhuli Gel was purchased by Band-Aid, I believe, so you might find it under the Band-Aid brand now. Good stuff, I tell ya'!

[Scott D]

Well, there was a the pitching of a tent....

was she awake for that or had she already gotten bored and went to sleep.

[SicEmBaylor]

was she awake for that or had she already gotten bored and went to sleep.

ACtually, it's more likely I was asleep than her.

[Scott D]

so you pitched a tent, pre-matured, fell asleep, and she was left reading a book unfulfilled....got it.
