Insect Bites/Stings.?

Well summer is approaching, and I am allergic to almost all insect bites/stings (wasps, ants, mosquitoes, other bugs). Whenever I get stung by a mosquito the entire area swells up; if its my arm that entire half of my arm will become swollen. What can I do to relieve the swelling and itching? Its so gross especially when I'm out at a BBQ or the beach. The same thing happens to my sister.

Benadryl would be my first suggestion with advil to help with the pain. When we have an allergic reaction, our body produces too much histamine, and in turn swelling, itchy, and often painful results are what we get. Antihistamine such as benadryl is the solution.

take an antihystemine

vinegar it is great

you could use insect repelants to prevent being stung or biten by an insect. Those usually keep their word. If you do end up getting bitten. Puting a warm towel over the swollen area will help. and not messing with it will help make it go faster.

good luck
