Help. I have been bitten by the dreaded sand fly, sand midge or devil bug as I like to call it. Usually it is my husband (who has sweet, sweet english blood) that gets bitten but oh now my Aussie blood seemed to be the delicacy of the day. That teaches me to go support said hubby at his football game in the New Territories (never again).
I have been bitten. 15 times to be exact. I have been reading these forums about treating insect bites and tips seem to include, tiger balm, antihistamines, toothpaste, sticky tape, spit, ice and various creams and ointments. I am willing to try anything at this point and probably will try most of these remedies (already have the cortisone cream & antihistamine from the chemist). However I am STILL itching. It's been 36 hours of itching now. I am desperate. Can you sense the hysteria in this post.
Once again. Help
