What's are the tried and tested products.
Have another horrible bite and just finished a course of antibiotics after a hospital visit when it went a bit mad...

Has anyone used a product that works ?
Sprays, roll ons, wearable?

Thanks

I am told Avon's skin so soft spray is a good insect repellent.
For stopping the itch I just go for industrial strength antihistamines. You can take more than one type of antihistamine together, just don't take more than the recommended dose of any one type.

On holiday in Fuerteventura I got bitten badly. I tried the boiling hot spoon on the bite method - it worked for a bit but then the itch came back.....
