Midgies !!!

Hi

Not sure what this is
but just come in the from the garden as was planting some shrubs and am covered in big blistery patches all over my forearms and both eyelids are swollen ( attractive huh !! )

I think I am possibly allergic to the midgies ( mozzies) as none of the plants should have been poisonous.

any remedies that I can try - have taken an antihistamine to try and bring the swelling down but anything elsse I can try ??

I havent got any calamine lotion in the house.

A nice cold flannel/towel over your eyes

They seem to be really bad this year, I just have to go into the garden and am covered in huge bites.....Must be the scottish strain..

lol @ graeme

well it has gone down a bit since taking the antihistamine - but my eyes are terrbile I look like I have gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson so am having some Jaffa cakes to make myself feel better !!

Never mind Graeme you have still got another one

Try some sun tan lotion or after sun with insect repellent in it..works for me

Antihistamine Cream?
Savlon?
Alcohol (so you're so drunk you don't feel it).
