Have you guessed it yet? 🤔

THOSE BLOODY MOSQUITOES!!! 🦟😩😂

But! I’ve discovered some very useful tips over the years! Sadly, I can’t stop those little critters from biting, BUT I have discovered ways to help those bites become less angry & itchy!

And it really does work! 🙌

🦟 Antihistamines

I started taking antihistamine tablets 3–4 days before my trip and have continued taking one a day.

The bites are a lot less angry and a lot less itchy.
No more waking up at night scratching! 🥰

It’s made a big difference to this holiday! ❤️

Just to be clear, antihistamines don’t stop mosquitoes biting you! They’ve simply made my reaction to the bites much less severe.

🦟 The Warm Spoon Trick! 🥄

When those bites are itching and driving you crazy here’s a little trick that does the trick for me every time!👍

Hold a comfortably warm spoon against the bite for a few seconds. It really helps to soothe that itching!

Just make sure it’s warm, NOT hot!
You don’t want to give yourself second-degree burns! 😂🥄

🦟 Roll On Mosquito Repellent

This trip, I’ve been using Jungle Formula roll on because I can’t stand the smell of sprays & I also really dislike breathing in the fumes! 😷

All I’ve been doing…is applying it to my pulse points, particularly around my ankles ( liberally )…it has made a big difference! 🙌

The instructions recommend applying the roll on to exposed skin, but I’m not a fan of covering myself in it.
I’ve found applying it to my pulse points has helped…although that doesn’t guarantee full protection.😊

🦟 Loose & Floaty! 👗

Another little tip I’ve picked up over the years…wear loose, floaty clothing!

Those pesky beasts can nibble straight through tight fitting clothes ( one even bit its way through my gym leggings this morning!😂 ) so the looser, the better!
Tightly woven fabrics are by far the best!

Less scratching……MORE relaxxxxing!😜🍹
