Please Help!! I just got jumped....

[Arkitech]

by a gang of mutant mosquitos. So I'm out with my wife bike riding on a trail near our home, I had to stop to adjust my brakes and literally in less than 2 minutes I now have at least 8 bites. 2 of which are on my face and the rest on my arms and legs. What can I do to bring down the swelling or get rid of the poison? Thanks

Chew them off with your incisors.

Go to the drug store and grab some AfterBite.

Calamine Lotion

did you actually see the mosquitos? it may have been poison ivy/oak or something..

No, this is not a joke to make you look stupid. Go to the grocery store and get Adolph's meat tenderizer. Make a paste of it with water, and apply to the bites. Works great for stings too.

Good thing you didn't need to stop and take a leak...

Don't think the wife would like you scratching your groin in public with her...

Yep, this is a good remedy. You can also substitute baking soda or so I hear.

Thanks for the suggestion, I don't have any meat tenderizer but I do have some baking soda

No no no!


Chewing them off is the only way.

Lacking calamine lotion, that's a good alternative.

Pick up some BBQ sauce while you're at the grocery store, and after the swelling goes down, toss the affected limb on the grill (not your head - you'll need that for later).

joke to make you look stupid. Sorry.

West nile is nothing if you're healthy. I'd kind of like to get West Nile, just to be able to tell people I had it and survived. That'd be a great story for the grandkids some day.

it is kinda unusual and weird but it works. i just scratch the skin off the top of them. then put hot sauce on them (burns like hell). but i works. they go away in a day or so

Well, they go away in a day or two without hot sauce. The hot sauce may replace the itch with a burning sensation, so if that's what you want, go for it.

I was going to make a smart-ass comment, but I can't think of a good one.

I read the title of this thread and got all pissed off, "I wish people would quit beating the sh!t out of eachother...", only to open it up and calm down suddenly. (sigh)
