THIS medical advice I will allow!
How do you get rid of the severe itching of Deer Fly bites?
Yes, I made the mistake of going out in my yard with shorts on. Even bug repellents don't help. These things LOVE legs.
The bites are horrible.
I was up all night scratching. It's like someone is poking a needle into you. Antihistamines, lidocaine, cortisone, Blue Star -- don't do a darn thing. I'm really doubting calamine will work because in the past, it never helped mosquito bites.
Does anyone know of a miraculous itch cure for these nasty bites? Ice helps for a few mins. It's a nice relief, but as soon as you warm up, the itch is back.
These things itch for 2 weeks straight!
AAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH I want to chop off my legs.
