Before I took a trip to South America a few years ago, I found something in Boots called an Aspivenin for insect bites. It works by creating a vacuum over the bite & sucks the venom out through the hole created by the bite. I know it sounds horrible, but it does work. It provides instant relief from itching & is good in emergencies, especially if you know you react badly to bites. It costs around £15, but is permanently reusable and drug-free. I personally recommend it & never go on holiday without it now. Carole |

My daughter is resting her foot up at the moment after a mozzie bite. It's all red and swollen. Doctor gave her some drops to take and cream to put on the bite. Hope you're feeling better soon June. Margaret |

Worst bite I had was from the dreaded 'Blandford Fly' when I lived down near Bournemouth. They have good and bad years for them. Hope you feel better soon xx |

Hope it soon gets better June. Whenever I get bitten by a mozzie, I get a huge swelling in the whole area, out of all proportion to the bite! Last week I was bitten on the top of my foot. The whole foot was swollen for days, I couldn't even get shoes on! I don't usually take any medication, it just goes on its own in around 3 days. Dee x |
