My parents used to give her Vit B 12 and that used to help. Not sure if it is a real cure or not, but I know it helped her keep from getting eaten alive. Also not sure why they liked her better than me and my brother, probably because she didn't like to get dirty like we did :) Maybe have the kids roll in the mud before playing outside :)marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788813592882858065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-75662420043134406032013-07-03T13:50:19.861-04:002013-07-03T13:50:19.861-04:00you can seal the bites off with clear nail polish ...you can seal the bites off with clear nail polish that keeps them from itching as bad --- poor babies.

There are many natural on-line recipes for repellents. Good luck, they are so nasty..lots of people here use the people who spray the yard and they say it lasts for the summer..Dianne Mitzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679435148888902713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-22197982353788119822013-07-01T19:36:12.312-04:002013-07-01T19:36:12.312-04:00Children just are such "tender morsels"!...Children just are such "tender morsels"!

Mozzies make great feast and welts of my little girl too. We live unfortunately close to a swamp/wetland area, lots of mozzies here too.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584353121763854396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-84388102753851279782013-07-01T07:42:18.271-04:002013-07-01T07:42:18.271-04:00You can buy a stretchy plastic bracelet that is im...You can buy a stretchy plastic bracelet that is impregnated with Deet but it can be worn on the wrist or ankle.

Those nasty bugs love my blood! 2 weeks ago had a bad reaction my face swelled up my eye was swollen shut and itching lika a mad dog. I now have to carry a EpiPen. I now take Zyrtec nightly and I do not go outside without my OFF clip.on. It really works each refill lasts up to 12 hours. I don't have to rub anything on me. Hope this helps! I have also heard Bounce dry sheets work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943588403379985076noreply@blogger.com
