Really?????
I can't believe it. If you have talked to me in the last month or so you would know that I have learned that I am highly allergic to many, many things. I am lucky that I don't have to change many things of my life to accommodate. Just staying away from onions and garlic which I love. Regardless my point is tonight I was outside about 7 pm for my kids exchange. I know that I was outside for 3 minutes and I started itching like crazy. I truly thought I was having a reaction to something. As I was absorbing my kids for the first time today, and I was going through a mental check list of what I had done and what I had eaten. Not coming to a conclusion I threw on some lotion and when on with the bath routine. As I was running the water I was itching like crazy all over my legs and arms. Laura was cute and offered her medicine for her skin to try and help me. It was not until everyone was in the bath and had a moment to look at my skin. It was then that I saw that I had over 20 mosquito bites covering me. I too am allergic to these. So I had welts every where. I could not believe that I was eaten alive within a short time. With this many bites I had to have be standing in a cloud of them. How could I not notice them? Really???? So I am itching like a crazy women. So then I run to the Benidral. Of course I don't have any, so I find the kids bottle. I end up taking 4 spoonful (which is what the box said) of bubble gum flavor to control the swelling. Why me? I am get shorter patients with my health these days. My next doc appointment is not until Nov. but am thinking about calling them in the morning and moving it up. So I will keep you up to date if anything happens. In the mean time do you know any ideas to get rid of itchiness?

You could always try an oatmeal bath....it's suggested for the itching that happens with chicken pox.
