Bug Pain Reliever Stick, "After Bite"
Hi,
Figured you folks would have some good suggestions. Used the bug pain reliever stick, "After-Bite", on my 4-1/2 yr old Grandson for a simple mosquito bite. Kid literally went thru the roof. Surprised, as I believe it is nothing but Ammonia in the stick that they have been making for years. Perhaps a change in formula ? Anyway, anyone suggest a simple stick type applicator bug pain reliever that won't be worse than the bite itself, and is effective ? Thanks, Bob |

Was it asphalt shingles, or cedar shakes? Did he go from up, and down into the building, or did he start indoors and end up over the house? Did he use a hatchet like the folks in New Orleans? I've not tried bite remedies, but I'm curious about the literal going through the roof. - .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

I'm not surprised a little kid reacted so strongly to it, it probably hurt like hell. I use first aid gels that contain lidocaine, since that numbs the area. I buy the Solarcaine aloe vera gel w/lidocaine, and keep it in the fridge - the cold gel feels good on burns and bites. An added benefit of the gel products is that the gel dries quickly and forms a skin over the applied area, which takes a little more effort wash or wear off. |

Kid literally went thru the roof. Once had a nurse tell me that Preparation H ( or any similar prep) could be used as a localize pain killer for insect bites. It works well on ant bites and slows itch problem. |
