OK, I've established that I'm being besieged by punkies. |
|
A.K.A. no-see-ums A.K.A. sand fleas.
WHat do I put on the bites and what can I use to keep from getting bitten?
Benydryl knocks me out; anybody ever try another oral antihistamine for bug bites?

1. Have you tried Avon's Skin-so-Soft? |
|
A lot of people say it repels mosquitoes.... don't know about other blood-suckers though.
Can you use a topical treatment instead of an antihistamine? Some kind of anti-itch lotion, like calamine or lanacaine?
