Travel Info Just returned from Costa Rica and I am still scratching from bites to my legs,this is not mosquitoes.Any ideas Travel Tips sounds like red bugs (chiggers)- We have them in Louisiana- they actually buried themselves under your skin-don't freak out- they're itty bitty. Place a dab a clear fingernail polish on the bite. That will suffocate them and get rid of the problem. Sounds nuts but this really works better than anything. (If it's red bugs) Others http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/arthopo/chigger... This link was VERY helpful as this was the second spring i've been practically eaten alive,(arms, legs, face) by these wicked little creatures. My remedy is claritin tablets, benedryl cream, clipped fingernails, crankiness, and plenty of TIME. They might be from gnats. Gnat bites are pretty large and they tend to get swollen. They itch a lot, like mosquito bites, but they can also be pretty painful. AIDS? definitely chiggers! I got them when i was in cancun a couple of years ago. i found the best way to get rid of the itch was deodorant. sounds strange but i put deodorant on my legs for 2 days and i was rid of the itch. the bites stayed a day or two longer but that was ok...the itch is what drove me crazy! Might be fleas. Seriously, out in the west, like California, there a little sand fleas all over the place. If you walk through any grassy area, you'll get bitten by them. |
