Just a quick note, thanks everyone, the patch, ginger/water and "blowing" seems to be helping! I will keep it up for a while longer, didn't lose my supper or spin too bad sleeping, Yey and thanks again. I will look into finding a Trader Joes,.

My treatment for misquito bites when I get them is PLANTAIN! Most think it is just a weed. Google it. Break off several young leaves, (I wash mine first cause I have dogs) chew it, something with the saliva and the juice of the leaves combines, then apply to bite, sting or burn, leave on for 20 minutes or so, and never again have a problem. Takes the swelling out, sting/burn pain away! Love that stuff, you can even eat it with a salad. Once I mowed late in the evening and was covered in itchy welts, so I ran out with a flashlight got a good sized batch of leaves put it thru the chopper, spat in it (yeah I know a little discusting pc if info) covered the bites wrapped damp paper towels around to hold in place then plastic wrapped my arms and legs to hold the towels in place, parked in a chair for 20 minutes and waited. After that took it all off and AMAZING no welts not itches, nice slumber followed! My kids thought I looked like a nut case, until they got bee stings, and then on went the plantain and problem solved!
