Mosquito Bites

[czygvtwkr]

Ive noticed lately that when I get bite by mosquitos this year that they leave fairly large red welts. These welts go away within an hour or so but I have never had that problem before. Have I been bitten by mutants or ones infected with west nile or what?

Nope,you may just be having a worse allergic reaction then you used to. Take some benedryl and it should make them go away and may even help with the itching some. Everyone has an allergy to their bites, some just worse then others and your reaction can change from year to year. Hope this helps!

I can pretty much ignore the itch the welts were just worrying me.

The repellant that is DEET free sucks by the way, I got it by mistake.

DEET causes cancer in laboratory rats....

































Aren't you glad your not a rat?

When I was younger I would get 1 to 2 in. welts from a single mosquito bite. Now I don't react quite as bad. Like someone else recommended, take benadryl if you are worried about how long they last. Otherwise, just spray yourself down with DEET bugspray and you'll be fine.

You're getting old

There is a product called "After Bite" that woks quit well in relieving the itch and welt. Liquid that comes in a pen/marker size applicator. Rub it on before you scratch, cause it burns lik a mo-fo on broken skin

I got a bite from something, and I have a BIG welt there and my whole leg hurts! I am using solarcaine and antibiotic cream on it, but geeze it hurts!

It works pretty good. I don't recall the burning part.

It's ammonia and it works great.

Put it on a bite you've been scratching for a while

Vinegar works great!
