Bugs and Bites

Bug bites and I don't get along.  I've always been highly allergic.  They love my blood.  What more can I say?  The only preventative I have ever used that has helped is a Bounce dryer sheet rubbed over my exposed skin and then tucked into a pocket or in my b-ra.

I got bit one evening as I was out on the front porch and then on the back deck drinking in the sunset.

They swell, itch, puff up even more, itch even more and make me miserable. They can get as big as the diameter of a tennis ball sometimes. I'm not kidding.

So a friend told me to use Preparation H.  I was very skeptical.  But so miserable and I didn't want to get all groggy from the Benadryl, that I was willing to try it.  I went and got some.

You know what?

IT WORKS!

Swelling shrunk.  Itching gone.

Who would have known?

Now we do!
