Got bitten all over during the night...by mozzies. Never happens usually. What to Do? :-[
-
Get some "Off" Spray it morning, noon and especially night. We have been here over one week and I have used it every day...Touch wood no mozzie bites....
-
Toothpaste is good for soothing the bites.
-
Fenistil is good for soothing bites.
-
1% Hydrocortisone cream for bites. Takes the itch away immediately.
-
One of the lovely waiters in Fethiye Iskele advised my daughter to get AMONIAC (Spelling?) from chemist for my grand daughter when she was bitten.
-
Proper nasty ones too. Never bothered me before. Thanks for advice. X
-
All I do if I get bitten is to heat a teaspoon under the tap, quite hot, and hold it for 10 seconds on the bite, it stops the itching immediately and the bite just disappears after a day or two
-
The worst bites are the black flies. They seem to lurk under tables outside. So, if you are going out, put plenty of spray on your feet and legs.
-
I find eating plenty of Marmite puts the mozzies off of biting me. The lemon cologne worked well for me too.
-
If you're not a fan of Marmite, take vitamin B tablets which contain thiamin, an ingredient in Marmite which seems to act as a repellent to mosquitoes.
-
We tried the tablets about 4 year ago took them for one month before we arrived. Did no good, still got bitten. No matter how many deterrents people advise, it is a proven fact that only products with Deet. With deter mosquitoes.
-
I tried the hot spoon on the bite once but obviously it was too hot and I burnt my skin, which then looked hideous for ages! I don't know which was better, the pain of the bite or the burn!
-
Don't wear perfume - I don't and never get bitten.
-
Thanks went to chemist got cream anti histamine tablets, raid plug in and spray and insect repellant. Now full of cold .tut
