Poisoned myself for 3 weeks - DOH!!

[JustOne]

After working in the garden I had a couple of midge bites and put some itch relief fluid on them (called 'after-bite'), the following evening I got a couple more and did the same, the following day I had a couple of bites on my foot and thought that was a bit weird so checked the cats for fleas (combed the crap out of them as I was sure I'd find something) - I found one flea and that was that - off to the vets to get some frontline and industrial strength flea spray for the house. The following morning there were more bites, I thought there might be a rogue flea so covered myself in after-bite and anti-histamine cream before bed.... more bites the next morning on my arms --- so we bought some plug-in thingys that stop midges/mozzies from coming in the house, more bites, so sprayed the house again covered myself in as many things as I could find and took 6 antihistamine tablets (2 different types), more bites... took 8 anti histamine tablets the next day (daily recommended = 1) mixed with a couple of diclofenac for the inflamation and a couple of ibuprofen for the same, and so it went on... went to casualty after 2 weeks but there were 30 people in there and I wasn't going to spend 6hrs scratching away (although the after-bite fluid stops the itching really well) had new sheets on the bed every night, even slept in clothes to stop things biting..... and then a few days ago it dawned on me that perhaps I was allergic to after-bite ... I stopped taking it and voila! I felt better the next day, all bites didn't look so angry, and itched less, the next day was better and the 3rd day I wasn't itchy or inflamed at all.

It was SOOOOOO painful and SOOOO itchy - what an idiot putting on a 'remedy' that I'm actually allergic to, all I had was a couple of midge bites, ended up with (what I thought were bites) about 300 of them - I blame the wife for buying it!!!!

Jeez mate those feet are bloody horrible. Please please don't wear flip flops around the place at Gainsborough!

Bugger!
Not sure if this is true but I read somewhere that if you hold a hot spoon against the bite, it will break down whatever it is that causes the irritation. You may have a 3rd degree burn but at least you won't itch!
