Eaten Alive

The subject line is strictly to draw readers in and no it has nothing to do with the latest horror movie coming to a box office near you.

But with last month’s rains comes this months mosquitos and they’re out in force. Now that its dried up and the oppressive heat has returned everyone has to be feeling like they’re being eaten alive.

Let’s see, I have about eight bites right now on me despite the fact I used Off! despite the fact I have a citronella candle on my back porch, despite the fact I have itched to the point of bleeding.

How many do you have?

Lanacane sales have no economic problems as long as the mosquito is around. But at high cost for the consumer, who wants it? Just itch like mad right?

I’ve been looking for the remedy to stop the itching. I think we all have to give up the fact we are going to get bit. I had one land on me that just about needed the flight deck of the USS Nimitz to land on.

I found this with allllll kinds of natural remedies. http://www.ehow.com/how_4419980_soothe-mosquito-bites-home-remedies.html?ref=fuel&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_campaign=yssp_art

This is from http://www.ehow.com/ where you can find all kinds of little tips.

Back to the war against the mosquitos, ehow has all kinds of suggesstions from calamine lotion to ammonia to toothpaste. Yeah, toothpaste. Dab a little on ya and the peppermint will stop the itching – and of course, keep your skin minty fresh.

Got some Colgate right here, let’s give it a shot.

Maybe not.
