Big bad itchy bug bites...

triumphantreturnofplanningbug

I'm pretty sure that I have mosquito bites, but if they're not mosquito bites, they're something really friggin itchy.  Just for good measure, they're all over my feet and the tops of my shoulders, so to just scratch them until they bleed isn't an option.

Taking a benadryl will put me to sleep. I plan on it tonight, but in the meantime, any other suggestions about how I can make them bearable?

 Peppermint EO.  Cuts down on the itching and the pain.

Mixed with lavender and you are golden.

Now...if you happen to have access to Copiaba then life is splendid.  I pph this new oil.  Yum-O as Rachel Ray would say.

Lavender is another bug-sleeps-immediately thing, but peppermint I can do!

I'm also going to look into Copiaba. Is it a YL?

I thought Deep Relief was another bug bite taker-awayer, isn't it, hippy?

It is.  Opps.  If you have Deep Relief then you are extra golden because it already has Copaiba.

I dab Witch Hazel on my bites and it really seems to help.
