Re: Terry: sick and tired

[Guest guest]

Dear Terry, Thanks very much....I can't imagine waking up and having ants

biting me...I did wake up and have baby cockroaches crawling on me (so much

for paradise) - and I remember thinking " at least they don't bite! " ...ant

bites are so painful....I hope you got rid of them...here we have 64

varieties (only a few are the biting kind- and those are in the brush)

....for inside we use boric acid (powder) mixed with banana or bosco

syrup....but it is sort of like urticaria - we control the situation but

can't cure it!

when i get the bites, they usually swell - angioedema - and then I can't use

ice because the ice irritates me and makes me hurt and swell more- I've

never tried cream with menthol.... But (as I wrote before-the message didn't

come through yet) I did get the strength up to use the Domeboro which did

help a lot....Thanks again Terry....this group connection really is

wonderful....Tree
