North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

So ive made the classic mistake of going fishing without the aeroguard long story short we got f***ed by the midgies, anyone have any remedies or just anything to help deal with the itch that im expecting within the next 4hrs or so

Tequila and lots of it!!

Go to BTC and get a tube of "the locals' stuff.
I swear by the stuff.
they also sell a spray but its a repellant as well- I don't think its as good as DEET but it works
I keep a spray bottle in the door console so I can spray the odd bite while travelling
but the cream is the go for a few bites.
after maybe 20 mins you will have forgotten about the bite
additional applications may be necessary

MOST IMPORTANT - DONT SCRATCH - EVER.


youre welcome

Hot bath and don't scratch

cloudy ammonia not supose to my grandmother said but it works

Get some hay feaver tablets and some antiseptic cream, works a treat!

Yep, fexo 180 hay fever tablets. The other brands dont work as good.

Scratch vigorously, it feels amazing!

Although scratching feels good, its the aftermath that bothers me when you have blood streaming down your legs

The worst thing about scratching, is once you start you can't stop.... Right up to that moment when the blood starts.

exactly. i had a scab on my leg for months from a single mozzie bite that i scratched, and kept scratching in my sleep for weeks.

While you are all on the subject about bites what works on ginger ant bites to calm them down.I hate the b@st@rds

Two antihistamine and get the mrs to p..s on it

Just p..s on them the Aboriginal people reckon....

Never tried it so couldn't tell you if it works!!!?

Failing that scratch till they bleed .....
