I might die

I have about 10 bug bites on my feet and ankles.  As far as I can tell there was a mosquito or 50 in the bedroom last night when I was sleeping.  I sleep with my feet out and BLAMMO.  All I want to do is itch.  I don't remember how to make bug bites quit hurting without that band aid brand anti-itch stuff.  I think I might die from the itching.

I'm feeling a little dramatic.

    omg that sucks.

    Do you live near the ocean?  That always helps to soak them in salt water.

    No salt water, but I did find sun burn lidocaine.  So far it isn't helping.  I need a more effective analgesic!

    But then I'll be knocked unceremoniously unconscious.  What cruel fate.

    Yeah, but you won't itch anymore.

    Seriously that's all I have for you now. Old school listerine and Bounce dryer sheets will keep them away for future references.

    Rubbing alcohol can help dry them out. I've also heard that a cornstarch paste works well too.

    I'm itching in sympathy for you...skeeters love me, and I am miserable for weeks during the summer.

    This is true too. Clear nail polish too.

    I found some cortizone.  I think it's helping.

    If it's not better by midnight, I'll probably knock myself out benadryl style.  I hate that stuff.

    Night, I am right there with you.  Went camping last weekend, and my ankles have multiple bites.  I'm so itchyyy!  WTH I used Off!  And why do mosquitos like ankles?  They're all bony.

    I am not happy.

    Ugh, I know the feeling. I have this big pond in my backyard so the bugs are ALWAYS terrible. One year my entire neck was just one bumpy patch of bug bites. I really hate mosquitoes.

    They're not itchy today.  I might have had to go an a rampage at Walgreens tonight if it were still itching.  That was awful.
