Relief from the Bugs
« on: August 23, 2009, 04:28:35 PM »
Because of a rather damp summer our area is filled with bugs, especially those tiny black flies that bite. I am covered in little bites. Any suggestions from anyone about something chemical free that I can use to keep them away/heal the bites faster.

We have the same problems where I live. I use eucalyptus oil to keep those nasty little things off me, and mint sachets scattered around to keep them out of my house. If you do get a nasty bite lavender water soothes the itching a lot.

I agree eucalyptus is a great deterrent. If you do get a really bad bite though a little dab of toothpaste can reduce the swelling and help with the itch.
