My arms are covered in them, all I want to do is scratch my skin off, they are driving me insaneeeeeeeeee!

I have taken a zirtek (?) anti-hystamine (absolutely no effect what so ever)

Recommendations before I go into the factory and borrow a hacksaw!

PS Avoid Burbage Edge, clouds of the little buggers!

wasp-eze.

its even good for jellyfish stings...not that ive ever had any of them.

i feel for you, i always get eaten alive by insects.

Germolene is the only sure thing to work, it has a local anasthetic so it stops the itching and it can stop them getting infacted too.

You need a topical anti-histamine cream like Anthisan. Works like a charm. You can use it for things like nettle rash too.

Carry it with you, as it's much better if you apply it straight away, as soon as you notice that you've been stung/bitten.

Poor Xircon. Second the Antisthan stuff. Mind you, I don't get bitten much... I think I eat too much marmite.

Someone once told me that if you eat plenty vitamin B12, brewers yeast or marmitey stuff, you smell funny to insects (but not to the human nose!) :shocked: I'm almost certain there's no science behind that though. :D

i tried this, when i went to china, to ward of the really nasty biters they have there.

i still came back like a human pin cushion. :rolleyes:

Could it also be the alcohol intake thats built up a resistance against them too :D
