The article may not mention Spain but tiger mossies have been around in Cataluña now for a while and the authorities are waiting for the spread down the coast. Noticeably the shops are more and more selling mossie stuff "effective against tiger mosquitos" which I didnt see last year.
The two members above you remind me of master bates and Roger the cabin boy did you have much trouble with them on board the Black Pig Capitan :p |

Re: Mozzie bites......
Old(ish) thread I know but I am looking for a solution to mozzie bites. I have now got 79 bites and they itch like crazy! Nothing seems to work, I drink beer and eat Marmite (someone said the yeast keeps them away) and I have a spray from the farmacia. It´s worse at night, one starts to itch and then the others start :mad:

Re: Mozzie bites......
Depending on whether you want to smell like a chip or a nappie, vinegar or urine ease the itching.

Re: Mozzie bites......
After-bite is ammonia, that helps as does hydrocortisone cream to stop all kinds of itching including mossie bites. Problem is if you start to scratch them they can get real bad.

Re: Mozzie bites......
Just slap a hot poultice on 'em.

I now have 130 mozzie bites and my legs look like a dot to dot :eek: Horrible!!!! :cry_smile: Tried vinegar - doesn´t stop the irritation and I didn´t like smelling like a chip shop - hubby kept his distance too :lol:, hydrocortizone helps to relieve the itching and I now have three different insect repellant sprays. Met Mitzy yesterday and he recommended a spray which I bought on the way home. Out this afternoon at a charity function being held by friends of ours and will put the spray to the test :thumbup: |
Re: Mozzie bites......
Just wet a kleenex and put it in the mocrowave, and CAREFULLY use it as a hot poultice.
Costs nothing, and actually works. Plus you don't have to smell of anything. |
Re: Mozzie bites......
I found vinegar didnt work...but white wine vinegar does :thumbup:

Re: Mozzie bites......
And you can buy "After-Bite" in Spanish farmacias, just have to pronounce it right as in After Bittay. Works although sometimes you have to reapply several times but the sooner you can apply the first drop the less the bite persists.
