How is it that bugs can bite you and you never notice? ... until later, that is, when you%26#039;re all itchy.

I was just outside for only about 20 minutes, and now I noticed I got 5 huge insect bites.

Oh, and a few more questions about insect bites:
Besides that Off spray or any like it (you know, the kind you put on your skin to deter insects) and citronella candles, what is there that I can do/use to keep bugs away? I live in the woods and very near a river, so there%26#039;s bugs everywhere, and I really don%26#039;t want to stay cooped up inside all summer long.
And another question - What can I do to make the bites I already have seem less itchy? They%26#039;re driving me crazy.


Thanks for all your help. =)

Best Answer

The best repellant I%26#039;ve found is Skin So Soft by Avon. It%26#039;s inexpensive, easily available, has no strong chemicals or odor. After the bite, there%26#039;s benedryl. Spray on the topical. The oral blocks the production of histamines and stops the swelling and redness. Enjoy your summer!!!
