Disinfect them as soon as you can, after the bite, Lit. And the damage will be a lot less.

[TheoK]

I will remember that.

We have two kinds here: big and smaller ones. I have never been bitten by a big one, though the bite from a small one is pretty nasty too. It seems like the big ones only go for horses.

Do you have the triangular ones too?

[TheoK]

Yup. Didn't know they were horseflies, though.

We all managed not to fall prey to the horseflies today. They tried, but did not succeed.

It's a big family.

Bump.

After being nearly immune for mosquito bites for a long time, I now get bitten a lot, all bites turn into hives, and some into massive swelling with itching and pain. Could not wear a shoe on my left foot yesterday. There was no ankle in sight, and my foot looked like a red balloon, with some toes attached to it. Last couple of weeks stuff like this is happening to me.

Been delving into it a bit. Apparently if your intake of vit B is high enough, you get bitten less, and bites will be less annoying, if you do get to be targeted. Medication is taking a toll on my vit B levels, I think. It is an utter bitch.

I fucking hate mosquitos.

hyke. the mosquitos here also cause massive pain and swelling, and I don't really even remember them being this bad
I usually put alo vera on mine. doesn't work all the way but it does cool the area off

When the swelling is really massive, like not being able to wear my shoes, I use vinegar dressings and coolpacks. Lidocaïne can be great on smaller patches, and a balm with clove extract in it.

No matter what the outcome of my bloodtest next week, I will increase my intake of vitamine B complex, especially vitamine B1. There are way more reports that say that it does work, than people saying it is a scam. And I do only get massive reactions on bites now that my vitamine B levels probably have lowered.
