Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 Hi all, Don't laugh--I'm in itching hell here. Just went camping and came home with 150 quarter-size red welts from my hips down. I got the bites on Friday night, and it's now Tuesday at noon. I'm about to lose my mind or kill someone. Have tried oral Benedryl and, of course, every topical thing I can find. Everyone that sees me gasps and says, " Whoa!...I've never seen ANYthing like that before! " I'm one huge swollen red lumpy blob. :-( I left a phone message for my doctor, and the nurse phoned back laughing. I don't find much humor in it. I'm having such a reaction, I thought I might end up in the ER. Please, someone, tell me you have some miracle home-remedy....

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 , I am so sorry to hear this happened to you. I too, have a terrible reaction to mosquito bites, they always get quarter sized. It's messy but i have found a baking soda paste works well, it seems to lessen the swelling and itching. On bee or wasp stings I use a paste of Adolph's meat tenderizer and it practically makes them disappear if you do it pretty soon after being bitten. Sounds like in your condition you may want to try the Adolph's first! Good luck and hope you're better soon.... T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
