  1. wear pants!


  2. Time is the best remedy for bites. Try not to scratch the bites. The best cure is at the drug store:  Look for a stop itch cream with lidocaine, that's a topical anesthetic that eliminates the irritation. Lanacaine is available almost everywhere, it isn't expensive and works well. Polysporin will take care of redness and swelling, but it won't stop the itching as much as lanacain.  If you can't get anything from a drugstore, then place ice on the bites when the itching is driving you crazy.  Keep the bites clean so they don't get infected.  Baking soda a nd water paste works to bring down some of the swelling.  If you have those little dot shaped bandages, put them on to remind you to not scratch.  That's about the best I can come up with, my son is always being bitten by the bugs and that's what we use to help him.  And next time you go out, use a spray with DEET, such as Off and take a small anti mosquito bite stick with you, these freeze the bite right away.  

  3. you wont get rid of them.but they'll go away faster if you leave them alone.wear pants.

  4. cut off your legs?

    Robe-e-tussen?

    Vinegar?

    Sasquatch is my daddy?

  5. baking soda and water, make a paste and put it on them. i got bitten about 15 times on my back when i was in france, i didnt know the word for baking soda so i kust used "tiger balm". it really soothes them, but i still kind of have marks. the baking soda definetely is suposed to work tho!


  6. soak cotton balls in vinagar and leave them on there for about 15 minutes. It might sting at first but it really takes the itch away. Next apply some benedryl topical cream. (careful not to use to much) The benydryl cream WILL TAKE AWAY THE SWELLING REALLY FAST!!! then cover them with bandaids and try not to scratch. they should go away in about 36- 48 hours.

  7. the best thing to try is antihistamine cream... It's usually quite cheap and can be picked up at most drug stores.

    Just make sure it contains Mepyramine Maleate as the main ingredient.

    The bites are swollen because the body is having a mild alergic reaction to the chemicals in the bite... the antihistamine cream helps the body deal with the chemicals and have less of a reaction.

    It will take a few days to work fully, but it will help.

  8. Go with the baking soda and water answer I have never tried it but that is what the nurses in my doctors office do.  

  9. Take a benedryl... It will make the swelling go down and they shouldn't even be noticeable the next day.

  10. yU shuld use alcohol and toothpaste they dry them up just lyke pimples dnt worry about it you'll b fiine



    HOPE I GET BEST ANSWER!!!!!!!!!
