I guess you live way up north or way down south. That would have to be "way down south". This time of year, those way up north will have a bigger problem than Tony has. Surely you've heard of the "Land of the Midnight Sun". ;^) Bob |

A Bounce dryer sheet is one of those things that may be like chicken soup. Not sure it always works, but it can't hurt. -- Peter |

Insect repellents don't seem to do me much good. I have a very weird story. All my life I was chewed up and spit out by mosquitoes, until... One example: my high school band had a five-day campout on a river just before school started. The one before my junior year I counted over 100 bites on one hand! I was also troubled by several allergies, so during that school year I spent several weeks getting shots in both arms for various allergies, to the point that I couldn't lift my arms above the shoulders without considerable pain. After the course of shots I have continued to sneeze, wheeze and cough upon exposure to any of the things the shots were supposed to help. But--I have not had a visible mosquito bite in the 66 years since, including at band camp the next year. Believe me, that made the shots worthwhile. Strange. Allen |

They can also cause tissue sensitizing problems leading to problematic reactions. It seems you need a topical anti-inflammatory steroid ointment/cream such as betamethasone or triamcinolone, or even a steroid/cortisone shot, or tablets. I can only tell you what works by experience...long experience in this case. Benadryl Gel (a topical) eases the discomfort if applied hourly. When the bite is in an area where there is little soft tissue, it doesn't seem to help as much as when the bite is in an area of soft tissue. A bite on the front lower leg is not as painful and doesn't swell as much. Benadryl Gel doesn't help that much. A bite on the back of the lower leg swells, but Benadryl Gel helps. The little *******s always get me in the soft tissue areas, though. Worst place is bites on the hand or fingers. Just enough soft tissue to cause swelling, and - for some reason - the most painful. Face is bad, too. Fire ant bites require a trip to the doctor and a shot. Fire Coral (touched when diving) requires multiple shots. If stung by a wasp, hornet, or bee, I'd head for the ER and sit in the parking lot. I've been warned that anaphylactic shock may occur, but it's never happened. We have an anaphylactic shock kit around the house somewhere. My wife (a B.S.N.) knows where it is. I hope she's home if I get stung by something major. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

I had a life in another industry before Law enforcement came along. I am 62 and I had a 25 year LE career with California. My formal education was in physics, chemistry, pharmacology, anatomy & physiology, toxicology, and microbiology. All of those disciplines served me well in what I was tasked with in LE. I am very familiar with several of the New Jersey pharmaceutical & chemical giants, particularly Schering-Plough, Cyanamid, & Lederle Laboratories. Schering is a major antihistamine developer (Claritin, Clarinex), and anti-inflamatory steroids. -- Regards, Savageduck |
