Handy Tip for mozzie n midge bites

[Gardenmac]

I realise you guys all use Avon So Soft to prevent insect bites. (Mine's on order from Amazon).

I'm a person who would get bitten in the Artic and that's why I ve been trying different cures to the bites other than chem based stuff.

 

things that worked for me short term on preventing the itch was The inside of the Banana skin, making a cross on the bite by pressing the finger nail into the bite.

But by far the best result for anti itching has been...... Toothpaste yup Toothpaste

I'm going to test that now because I'm spending my time scratching a cleg bite.

Well it's worked to a degree. Certainly less itchy:thumbup1:

I got bit tried the toothpaste and I've got a weird burning sensation, so washed it off quick time. So my lesson for tonight is if you get bit don't rub toothpaste on your balls. 😁

i use toothpaste all the time thorn stabs, scrapes etc. very soothing when hands start to sting in the evening. never occured to me to use it on bites.

for mossie and cleg bites,press a hot teaspoon onto the bite, the heat kills the protein that causes the itching, not that hot it burns you mind

I have no input as to cures but I know a good repellent...sas maintainance lubricant haha, was being eaten alive the other day and sprayed this stuff on exposed skin and didn't see another horse fly for the rest of the day

Toothpaste won't help your crab bites mate.

Sprinkle some sugar down there....doesn't kill them but rots their teeth out
