mozzy bites

[mccfluff]

i'm covered in the things, in partiular one big juicy one on my left butt cheek that's itching like mad. has anyone got any home rememdies to stop the itching. as i'm at work i have v little in the way of supplies, a quick check of my desk gives me hand cream, plasters, sour cream and chive dip, a bulb, some paper clips, soy sauce and other assorted officey crap. Anyone got any ideas? seriously i'm about to scratch my bum off and i'm getting weird looks

hiya
you need to go to the chemist and get some piriton and some savlon cream.

Salt. With water, moisten it into a paste and apply to the bite.
Baking soda. Dissolve 1 teaspoon in a glass of water. Dip a cloth into the solution and place on the bite for 15 to 20 minutes

Or rub a paracetomol into it.

would go to the chemist but can't get out of the office today, will try the salt one though, and lmao at rubbing a paracetamol onto it thanks guys x

maybe try a dissolvable :-)

I know its difficult but try not to scratch them, I put a Witch Hazel gel on mine the other day and they just disappeard within days, all the swelling went out of them and there was a yellow poisonous ring around them, that went as well. Apparently we are going to be plagued by the orrible things.

We used Germalene and its brilliant. It has an anaesthetic in it and stops the itch and pain. Heals up quickly too. We have just come back from corfu with some bites and they went very quick.

right salt hasn't worked, tried the handcream and that seems to have 'cooled' things down a bit lol, think it will def be a stop at the chemist on the way hm tho

you should get a jif lemon and squirt some on your neck wrists and ankles, them mozzies won't come near you then.

I put toothpaste on mine, it takes the sting away.

I feel for you, cos i get reactions from them so when I get bitten the whole area around the bite swells right up and becomes rock solid. Not had any this year tho, thank god!
