Insect bites

Genuine question - what's the health risk with repellant? I swear by "jungle formula" when I go abroad. I forgot it when I went to Lisbon and I came back with 6 whopping mosquito bites.

Whenever I apply Jungle Formula they leave me alone. It is industrial stuff, I sprayed some on my belt by accident and it had a bad reaction with the leather.

It’s toxic in concentrated doses and snd shrinks your cock, I kid you not, mine shrunk to average size.

As an aside and on a happier note. When I went to India to find myself, I got bitten and initially the welts made me look like a medieval leper, with welts. But here’s the thing, because I am Scottish and genetically superior to you doss cunts, after about a week, I had no reaction to the bites. None.
People in the early days of me looking like an extra from some post apocalyptic film, started to have a whip round for my funeral, so bad did they look. I kept reassuring them I was Scottish and would be fine and it would be better just giving me the money so I could spend it on whores and drink and the rest I’d just squander.

I never did find myself, because, I never lost myself in the first place.
 
It's that time of year again,jesus,it's getting me down this,started about 7 to 10 days ago,bites on my feet and now calves etc. Tried everything and nothing helps,i just itch the bite and rip the skin off , it's better than resisting the itch for days on end. probably had about 6 or 7 on both legs so far.
I take antihistamine for hayfever,thats doing nothing for the bites

Just dab toothpaste on the actual bite.

Gonna give that a try tomorrow morning when i no doubt wake up with a few new ones, it'll be about the 100th remedy I'v tried over the years all to no avail,but i live in hope.

Only thing that ever helped me ,was back in the 1990's when i travelled a lot,got malaria in east africa but while there,i was smoking at that time,and i found putting your cig as close to the bite for as long as possible helped calm the itch, a tip for anyone else still smoking i suppose worth a try.
 
fucking loads of the mozzy cunts here.
odd thing is in all my years before moving here i never once was bitten,
no matter where i gallivanted.

i was told that once you are bitten that's it, you're fucked for life.
there's some sort of odour left in your skin that says to other mozzies "there's a good meal here".

got mesh over the windows and never leave the front door open.
somehow the occasional one gets in though.
waking up with an itchy lump tells me of its arrival.
the lumps go away after 3 or 4days, usually no big deal
although some can cause a bad skin reaction.

i then go on "mozzy duty" and seek the wanker out.
the thick twats sit on the white walls and stand out easily.

made the mistake this weekend gone of going to the first day of the outdoor gnaoa music festival (8pm-2am) wearing shorts and trainer sox.

the next 2 nights i wore strides but the damage was done.
one ankle, eight bites, looked like i had rabies.
blood spreading out under the skin.
red hot and very painful to the touch for 2days.
still looks rough.


the locals keep bowls of ground up cloves mixed with white wine vinegar round the house.
some tie sprigs of basil to the headboard.

i just get on with it.
i have a good immune system that sorts out the infection.
i never ever use any sort of deterrent,
because i'm from the north and hard as chuff :)

"Six or seven on both legs". Fucking luxury mate.

I was helping a mate build a deck two weeks ago and had 24 black fly bites on my right arm.
Couldn't even begin to count the ones on the left arm. legs and cankles covered and the back of my neck and scalp riddled in em.

Now that the black flies have gone the mosquitoes are out at dusk and the deer flies and horse flies are taking pieces of meat with every bite during the day.

Having to smear behind the ears with vicks and spray your clothes down with bug spray temporarily masks the smell of smoke from last night fire (in an attempt to ward off the mossies) is starting to wear thin.

P.S. Get some of this if you want 3 secs of relief.

pal of mine, abdillah, swears by saliva...
clean finger inside the cheek and dab it on the bite.

another, ayoub, always uses seawater.

they still both look like bitten fuckers to me.
 
Get yourself one of those mosquito tennis racquets. Not the most effective solution, but incredibly satisfying when you get one. Got one the other day and it properly exploded with (presumably my) blood. Serves the little fucker right.
 
Black fly bites are far more imflamatory and painful. I couldn't stop itching which made things worse. Then a Spanish local told me to go to the nearest pharmacy and ask for honey cream. I did and it worked.

Eating lots of fresh garlic repels mosquitos like I said earlier in the thread.
