Mosquito bites are a real pain. I am on holiday for the first time in ages and have only been here a matter of hours and it would seem that dinner is served and I am the first course.

| 10-4-2008 | Well I feel for you. Every year I go away and seem to be a feast for mosquitoes.
I took VitaminB (thiamine) two weeks before I went to Turkey last year and did not get one bite.
It needs time to saturate your skin and female mosquitoes can't stand the smell, although it's completely uns...more | Missy Lou |

| 02-10-2007 | GandalfQL: Hi there, thanks for the tip. I'll try that the next time I have a chance to go somewhere hot and sunny, although to be honest I got so fed up with the bites it may well be some time. If anyone else has a chance to try this out, please let me know how you get on. | The guy with the mosquito bites |
| 13-9-2007 | My wife and I have been to Turkey Tenerife and Mexico and where others get bitten, I do not nor does my wife.Most of the normal repellants do not work, if you ask the residents they will tell you the truth, the little things are now immune.

| 31-8-2007 | 1% hydrocortisone (get it from your pharmacy) will do for the itch or, if you prefer, you can also use red Tiger Balm, which smells far nicer. Reducing the swelling is a bit trickier - ibuprofen works for me if I've got loads of bites or you can use a teabag - the tannins in the tea are an astri...more | root-two |
| 13-8-2007 | I too have suffered like you and was chatting to a friend today who suffers the same and he told me that on Monday he had started the lemon diet. What he and his wife have done is eat a lemon a day either squeezed in hot water or whatever way you like I suppose. I am going to try it, as the blood s...more | Nicky |

| 20-6-2007 | Mitigator Rules!
I can recommend a new “scrub” product called “Mitigator Sting & Bite Treatment”; to say that it is terrific is an understatement! It actually removes venom by exfoliating the top layer of skin, opening the pores and drawing out the toxins. I had instant ...more | Amanda |
| 19-6-2007 | Thank you all for your comments. I have arrived back in the UK now and I must say have never been so glad to be back. Yes, the weather out there was wonderful, but the bites made it a nightmare. True - I could have been better prepared and on the second last day of my holiday a lady gave me some ...more | Mozzy food |
| 18-6-2007 | Certirizine and a general anthistamine cream work wonders in aiding insect bites.They deal with the inflamation and the itching,the cream is also very soothing.They are very cost effective and easy to purchase from supermarkets,pharmacies and airports.
To help prevent bites you could try taking g...more | Becci |
| 16-6-2007 | Yeah they're in the UK too. I occaisionally get an influx of them going after my guinea pigs.
Best bet then is to use one guinea pig as bait, and when the blood sucking leaches try to approach my babies, DOWN COMES THE RIGHTEOUS FLY SWATTER OF DEATH AND FURY!

Other than that, RAID see...more | yoyo |
