Walking in the forest, bitten by midges and mosquitos, now the
urge to scratch and scratch ??? No nearby pharmacy? Read how I
overcame the urge to scratch.
WARNING. This is not advice or a recommendation.
This is a report of my incident and the measures I took to ease
the itching and pain. If you decide to follow my measures, that
will be totally at your own risk. I have no medical qualifications.
Acknowledging all my warnings, please read on.
In June 2008 I
was walking in a forest in Finland, in the early evening. Initially
there seemed to be no insect or mosquito problem. But as I walked
on the intensity of insects increased. I took measures to cover
as much skin as possible, but still I was bitten on every exposed piece
of skin, and through my clothing.
On return to my cabin, had supper and the bites did not seem to be
any problem. However as I settled down to sleep the bites began
to swell and itch very strongly so I could not sleep.
Soon I had found
relief and slept soundly.
