| Take piriton (if you can), we have a massive amount of mozi`s in the evening. I cant stand to sleep with windows closed so I put up with the bites with the help of piriton, it works! and im the type to get a mozi bite the size of a tennis ball. I m sure it will work for ant bites. |

| Re our " Mosi on holiday "experience...I would wash your arms in Gin, then drink the rest.....they may still itch but you will be out for the count and won,t notice. Polly |

Took a Piriton & that helped....but still got HOT lumps where the stings are but thankfully not itching madly!! I react horribly to insect bites - midgies, horseflies, mozzies... they LOVE me - being a red-head my body smell apparently attracts biting insects!!!
Polly - what waste Gin like that - you must be joking - Gin goes down my throat - not splashed on |

| You will be pleased to hear that I did not have ants in my pants & that the lumps have stopped itching I will bear in mind Polly's gin cure for future bites |

| Polly, had to laugh at your 'cure', it's like my 'scotch' cold cure, take one bottle of 'scotch' and a glass and a candle, go to bed, place lit candle on bedside cabinet, pour and drink enough scotch that you can see 3 candles, by which time your cold will either have gone or you won't care any more |
