Caardvarks :: Tiffany Doodles

Hey Everyone! I hope you're enjoying your weekend! The wedding was SUPER DUPER fun! I almost picked up a British accent by the end of the night! :) I also picked up a bunch of pesky mosquito bites. So, I reached out to Twitter and Facebook for help on remedies to stop the itch, burning and irritation. Thanks to everyone who responded. Here are a few remedies:

• apple cider vinegar
• hyrdro cortisone
• vinegar
• preparation h
• ice (lots)
• benadryl itch stick
• campho phenique
• baking soda/water paste
• clear nail polish
• ammonia

I only was able to try out the vinegar so far and it worked! I did not have any apple cider vinegar on hand, so I dabbed some (regular white vinegar) on my itchy bites and it calmed down the irritation. However, by the end of the night, I needed more application. So, I need to try more stuff out! I'm going to try some more later before I go out and purchase some other stuff I obviously need in my household stash! I thought these were great remedies and if you all have "True Blood" like myself, you'll need this list one day too! Oh yes, that means I'm a TRUE True Blood fan! I'll be watching tonight's episode on Monday while we're resting up from this evening's wedding.
