That is such a great idea. I wish I had thought of that before. I get terrible bug bites that look like welts. I use alcohol and that works pretty good, but I will definitley try the ice next time. Also, thank you for the natrapel link. Will get some of that too. Oh, thank you RQ. That is such a great idea. I wish I had thought of that before. I get terrible bug bites that look like welts.

My Sarah is being eaten alive. Our doctor says his middle child had the same problem the first summer after she came from China, too. With Sarah being allergic to many fragrances, Avon's Skin So Soft Gentle Breeze is the only thing that doesn't break her out, but she's still getting a few bites. I'll try this before we go to day care tomorrow! RQ, THANK YOU!!! My Sarah is being eaten alive. Our doctor says his middle child had the same problem the first summer after she came from China, too.

Grace once got a tiny mosquito bite that made her eye swell shut. We used Benadryl but it makes her MEAN. (I'd rather deal with the swolen eye. :) Great tip!

The zits not being treated caused the blood poisoning, not the water. This story's not an urban myth. No, no, TBS. The zits not being treated caused the blood poisoning, not the water.

If you make icve from clean water, you are putting clean water on the skin. This is putting clean water on a cut--washing a wound, in other words. Frozen water does not cause blood poisoning. No matter how Blair-Witch-Project-y the urban myths. Ice after, and prevention/Natrapel, with a benedryl back-up -- thanks RQ. I was worrying about mosquito issues just today! Ice is water.

One day, after several years of doing this, the skin on her face began to turn black, and like a rash, it spread to cover her entire face. Within hours she was dead from blood poisoning. The infection retracted into the skin and was never treated. I don't know if mosq bites are comparable to zits though, but with this discussion, I thought I'd pass this story on.

After the sting, cut an onion and rub the cut onion on the sting. I tried it on a sting on myself yesterday and it worked well. Took the "sting" away. Another handy solution.

For bee stings, cut an onion as soon as possible and rub the cut onion on the sting. I tried this yesterday on myself with great results.
