earlier today I got the weirdest tip from my ear doctor since she saw my bug bites, she said if I used hand sanitizer on them each night (apply until they sting) my body will get so focused on the pain that it stops the need to itch. She then explained how it works. “ Lol, just stings for a bit but lasts a while so long as you don't touch it. Also another plus. Since it's moscito spit that makes it itch, the alcohol slowly kills it off. It’s a lot quicker than having your body naturally fight it off. It can take up to a month or longer with someone with an immune compromised person to fight it off naturally. Depending upon your body, possibly applying hand sanitizer once or twice makes it stop itching for 2-3 days” she said. So I went home and tried it, no joke it works. Stings at first but works.
