Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 hi Elaine Have you thought of using homeopathics? apis mel is a rememdy for reactions like bee stings..and I know there are a few others... If you call Helios 01892 537254 and speak to the pharamcist they will remedy match for you... the homeopathics are good as they generally can be safely used alongside other therapies... If you ring before 4pm today it is possible they will have a remedy on your doorstep with tomorrows post. Best Wishes Tracey PS in Africa we used to put lavender essential oil on our body to stop being bitten by mosquitoes.. and increasing garlic in diet can also make you less tasty to midges etc.. Have you any idea what is biting you? at this time our delightful pets often bring fleas into the house and these can cause nasty sore bites too.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi Tracey,Thanks for this - no idea what is biting me, I have no pets - but I've felt things bite me outside of the house and thern really reacted - the same things must be getting both Callum and I - when I was in Indonesia when I was young I was really sick through bites - but I just can't understand what would be causing such a reaction in both of us in the UK - I shall invest in garlic caps again - stinky, but worth it! and I always have loads of lavender oil so shall try this as well as Helios - thats a great help, thanks again ...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi Elaine, I don't normally react to bites but had the same problem 4 days ago when I was doing a bit of gardening..really swollen up, I felt ill too, and like I couldn't breath. I rubbed in some coconut oil and the swelling disappeared almost instantly. I hope you both get the same magical results !

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 off the top of my head: anti-histamines. That sounds like an allergic reaction.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I find lavender oil helps when I get a bad reaction such as yours to bites.
