Insect bites / clay salve & a penny

[Guest guest]

>Don't know where you live but the  " Black fly " problem is already swarming here

in upstate NY.<

I live in New York City (Manhattan). I didn't expect to be chomped on by an

urban bug.

>I don't know how many time I've been bit but they do leave a swelling { It's

the earliest I've ever had to break out the Avon skin so soft to keep them

away}<

I've never tried Skin so soft. When I am *expecting* biting insects I take

brewers yeast.

>Bentonite clay. It works for burns, bites & itches.<

Clay sounds interesting, but I'm stuck at home with a virus, so going out and

buying something won't work.

>tape a penny to the bite ---It  worked for a friend's bee sting.<

If the steroid cream I'm trying now doesn't work, I'll keep a penny in mind.

Thanks, Dianne
