Itchy

[jethrien]

Mosquitoes ambushed me on the way home from class last night. My legs are covered in bites. I've got a layer of Benedryl on from when I first woke up, and because I was too dumb to bring the tube to work, I've now slathered on alcohol-and-aloe gel. So incredibly itchy...

I find that taking Benadryl in pill form works better for me than the topical cream, though it does make me drowsy as heck. I agree with ivy03, ice will probably help alleviate your suffering a little. :/

Benadryl in pill form is the single most effective thing I've ever tried for any kind of allergic reaction. The problem is that it also makes me spaaaaaacy for the entire time it's effective.

I am so incoherent as to be unemployable on Benedryl. I failed a math test once because of that stuff. (Not a math test that should have been hard.) I pretty much feel as if I'm doing the TV out-of-body-experience thing, trying to drive my body while I float a foot or two above my head. I've sworn the stuff off.
