I went on a year 7 team building exercise to Swanage bay.. we had to camp out over night and in the morning the staff must have counted over 150 odd mozzie bites. i just wanted to rip all my skin off it was truly horrendous
Went through several tubes of anti histamine and calamine lotion. Since that awful night i have never been bitten. |

I thought you had a really big one the other day? It was showing on your avatar. I think you may have been trying to soothe it with your tongue |

If you know you're prone to being bitten make sure you take anti-histamine tablets as this doesn't prevent the biting but it does prevent the itchiness. I'm one of those people that if it bites, it bites me and I never go anywhere where I know I'm likely to encounter the murderous things. I keep well coated in calamine lotion on my legs, take my tabs and if on holiday abroad I keep my mozzie machine plugged in 24/7.
Some insects have absolutely no place in the world and should be wiped out by chemical bombardment. GRRRR  |

Had two infected bites in as many months... first time was really grim and I could hardly walk cos I'd got cellulitis with the infection - loads of penicillin for that one. The next time healed up in a couple of days, so guess I'd built up the antibodies
I always end up being bit...

Bloomin horse flies bite like hell they leave a bloomin great lump too.
Used to make our own insect repellent up for the mares of citronella oil and vinegar stinks something awful but works.
Wouldn't suggest using before a meet or you will smell like a bag of chips with lemon  |
