I finally figured out that the bites on my feet were from walking the dogs out along the canal in just crocs, no socks. Started putting socks on and that helped a bit. It honestly looked like my feet had the chicken pox and they were the itchiest bites I've ever had in my life. Benadryl took the edge off a bit, but really didn't help much. And while mosquitos love me up here in NH, when I get bitten in FL I end up with nasty bumps that take weeks to go down. And then there's DH, who gets nary a bite anywhere. I tell him he's just not delicious. Sounds like you got into some chiggers. I get them when walking through the grass. And only get bitten in the areas not covered by clothing.

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Cortizone cream takes the itch out of fire ant bites for me. Sometimes I use clear ammonia on fresh bites, it seems to lesson the itching and/or stinging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And those little buggers are the itchiest. 20 hours ago, fladogfan aka Gretchen said: Cortizone cream takes the itch out of fire ant bites for me. It helps me a wee bit, but not much. I eventually found out out that if I pop an antihistamine it works better. fladogfan aka Gretchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
