mozzie bites

Tea tree oil is what I use on the kids. My lot always get big welts from them too and this helps them.

i have an allergy to mozzie and insect bites to the point where the whole part of that body will blow up literally. I remember as a kid that i had been bitten on the foot (1 of many times) and i couldn't wear shoes for a whole week or so, my foot had swollen that much.

The best thing is to avoid getting bitten. Take one tablet of vitamin B1 each day. I do that in the spring/summer period and hardly get bitten anymore. My DS has taken after me and he too takes vitamin B supplements each year.

Tea tree oil or calendula (infused oil or lotion) both work well for me. I used to use stop-itch but the residue drove me nuts, and I found after a while I developed a resistance to it.

its stinky but I heard it works a treat.....rub a cut onion on it, its the hot sulphur compounds that do the trick.
