Oh, Elizabeth. You have my empathy!! Those buggers are so awful this year! Since I’ve been tapering off my immunosuppressants, I’m reacting more to the mosquito bites than ever. Each time I get a bite it swells up like half a grapefruit, even after packing with ice.
2 days ago I got a small bite above my eye. Took Benadryl right away and when I woke up yesterday morning, I had a egg sized bump over my eye. It morphed last night into a marshmallow involving my eyelids and area around. LOL. I look like I got decked with a fist!! My husband’s embarrassed to go out with me anywhere for fear someone will think he punched me in the eye. 👀. Hahaha.
For the itching though give the hot spoon trick a try. Actually I use a table knife, more surface area. Anyway, run it under very hot tap water then apply to the bite! It takes the itch away.
Hi Elizabeth, Our friend @loribmt mentioned the swatters a few weeks ago and I bought a couple of them. Mine is rechargeable and has a flashlight in the handle. Easy to use but never seems to be around when I need it 🙃 You just hold a little button down on the handle and swat the little buggers.
