k2bdeutmeyer Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I've used 2 different anti-itch remedies (Ivarest and Sting Eze)....what else can I do? We went camping this weekend and I came home with 70 bug bites from mid-thigh down. Of those, 60+ of them are from the knees down. They itch so bad that they kept me awake from about 3am on. Please tell me there is something else I can do?!? I'm desperate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 How about an Aveeno Oatmeal bath? That always helped my son that has severe reactions to bug bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Do you know anyone with the following essential oils, preferably pharmaceutical grade? Tea Tree Cinnamon Clove Rosemary Lavender (real lavender and not Lavendin) Three tbsps of carrier oil, almond, coconut, or well...anything will work...I once used canola oil because that is what my mom brought camping! Six drops of each except the clove which should be 10 drops (it is the numbing agent), shake, and dispense with a q-tip. Numbs quickly, lasts longer than most sprays, and after two applications - if the quality of the oils is good - you'll see an amazing improvement.
