[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 287085, member: 1233"] I hope he learned his lesson. It sometimes takes really drastic stuff to get through to them, but it is not fun to know they are suffering so much. In the drugstore area of most grocery stores and Walmarts they sell "Itch Stop" or "Bite Stop" pens. They are filled with liquid and have a top that comes off like a pen cap and has a little dauber top underneath. These are filled with ammonia - same as you use for laundry and cleaning. I found out by smelling it and then reading the label. I now keep it handy in a small bottle in the bathroom. We use q tips or tissue paper to put a little on mosquito bites. It works almost instantly and can be reapplied when the itching starts back up. I really hope he feels better MUCH sooner - this is no fun. Also keep an eye on the size and shape of the bites. There are some times when the bites will be irregularly shaped and/or larger than usual. It can become very dangerous. It is not uncommon for people who are visiting or are new here to need the ER for epipen type medications after getting a lot of bites from skeeters. You may want to give him some benadryl to help keep this from happening and because it may help with the itching. I know it sounds strange because they are "just" skeeter bites. But it is very hard on you to have to deal with this. I hope he feels better in a few days and that he has no allergic reaction to them. [/QUOTE]
