Guest guest Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I live in CT and fleas have definitely been out for weeks now. I've been bit a few times in the same area and it itches like crazy. I also have ants in my patio area (not fire ants, they don't exist here) that bite and they hurt/sting. Mosq's are very prevalent right now too due to all the heavy rains we've had over the past mo. ACV does seem to help, thanks Jim!

I don't think we get them in Jersey, but Jersey has become the new Florida weather-wise, so who knows? They probably are flea bites, but usually fleas don't start appearing til the weather gets cooler, like late Sep. I used to have a real problem years ago with flea bites every year, but for the past few years I haven't had a problem. I actually have 7 bites on the 1 leg--there were 4 more slight ones that slowly turned red & itchy also. I wasn't able to get the xylocaine ointment in any drugstores & I'm not ordering anything from Canada anymore because of the surcharges even though it's available there. I just bought Campho-phenique which my mother always had in the house growing up. Seems to be helping. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 It could be as a result of whatever you are using. I had a couple of strange bite like things on my calf after starting Cowden. But that is just speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
