mosquito bites

it's summer. It's Texas. I'm sweet as sugar. It's that time again. *sigh*

So I was outside for a few hours the other night and got around 20-25 mosquito bites on my legs. They are driving me INSANE. It's awful awful awful. Does anyone have any weird home remedies that actually work?? I always have this problem, they never bite my boyfriend or my mom, just me I think I am just doomed to scratch til I bleed and have even more scars. *boo hoo*

helpplzkthx

Dip an aspirin in water and then rub it on the bites. It'll help the itching a bit. And whatever you do, stop scratching. It will only make the itch worse and if you scratch like I do you'll end up with scars. And a little chunk missing from the top of your head...

EEEKKKkkkk! Have you not heard of West Nile Virus???!!!
Wear long pants/sleeves or at least insect repellant.
For the itching just take a Benadryl.

listerine on the bites.
eat more garlic.
not a lot.
but more.

Try using clear deordorant on them. I have heard that helps the itch.

I don't have any remedies for getting rid of mosquito bites, but as far as preventing I've heard that if you take garlic pills they won't bite you. I heard this from someone who was in the military and said this is what they would do. Besides, garlic pills are good for you.

Ok so I'm not just talking out of my ass. Good

Awesome I will try it all! Except the spit it's too hot and sticky to be covered in spit right now. I've heard the garlic thing before, I'll definitely go get some. keep fuckin vampires away too thanks

West Nile can bite my ass.
If I hear one more thing about West Nile or monkey pox or SARS or mad cow or some retarded disease I'm never going to catch I think my brain will explode.

Yeah, vampire bites are a lot harder to get rid of than mosquito bites

How do you know you don't have mad cow? Doesn't that shit not present itself for like 10 years?! Or is that something else you can get from beef...
Either way... you could have some disease

the garlic is for future mosquito bites. they'll smell it in your sweat and gag to death. no, really. well, maybe not to death, but they'll bite someone else. and i doesn't work on vampires anymore. i think that was a rumor started by the mosquitos.

I bet he really does have mad cow and he's just in denial. Isn't that one of the symptoms?

Yeah I definitely need to make my blood rancid for those little blood sucking bastards. growing up my mom never needed any sort of repelent cuz they'd just attack sweet lil me. I will go get garlic pills today!! And I garlic anyways, I'll just eat them like mints (not for realz)

Well I'm almost 22. I've certainly been eating beef since before I was 12. I'm not mad yet. I'm really not concerned.

cut your legs off.

Funny, how they go for some of us, and not others. I have the same problem . . . they go for me like free beer at a rock concert, while they seem to leave others alone. We must be sweet meat, huh?.

Yeah, damn sweet blood! *shakes fist* Maybe if I started doing heroin. Too bad I'm allergic to opiates. I bet mosquitos love heroin though

I really hate it when I am in bed at night and I can hear them buzzing around but cannot see them. Then I get nervous when I don't hear them anymore cuz I'm sure they landed on my sweet flesh. Usually I flail around but it doesn't always work

Of course, I thought this would be about really small breasts.

This isn't about really small breasts....trust me.

You would think they'd at least get alcohol poisoning!


Your post made me think of that commercial where the woman is envisioning a hotel room with a mosquito net over the bed, covered with all sorts of creatures!


I like to sleep naked . . fortunately I've never had one of them bite it yet . . . I suppose it's just a matter of time?

Best advice ever.

Dip a washcloth in really hot water (as hot as you can take) and then put the washcloth on the bite. Its meant to be stop the itching but I haven't tried it myself.

Oh I kno you want me
