Re: a million billion bug bites :(
OMG I went to Ulysses' on Pearl St. for diner on Saturday night and we had to leave b/c I had so many welts and I couldn't sit still from scratching. When I got up everyone one at the table in unison said 'OMG!' We went home and I did an oatmeal paste (really is oatmeal bath powder but we don't have a tub) on my legs for 15 mins. Worked wonders!

ahhh i feel your pain. i live in nyc and sometimes i'm scared to go to LI bc every time i do i come back with 20 bug bites minimum.
really, really try not to scratch. i recommend benadryl spray.

I had the same problem last year and a nurse friend told me baking soda with water made into a paste. Will take any redness from the welts out. After 2 days it cleared up. Keep reapplying and good luck to you.
