	any one have a remedy to stop this damn itching so I can get some sleep It's my own fault . I got the sheets off the washing line and put them on the bed without ironing them first .Well there must have been a mozzy in there cause the next morning my hubby and I were bitten all over our legs. He is fine but I have been itching ever since I am taking anti histamines but they do not seem to be doing any good. Help

	Vinegar. Just dab a bit on, it kills the itching. OK you'll smell like a chip shop but it works and won't interfere with the antihistamines if you're taking them in tablet form and not cream

	PMSL, it's only for a day or so. The acid in the vinegar kills the poison in the bite I think.
