Tigerladyandhim Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Over the last few days we have both been badly bitten by Mosquito's and where we have been bitten a lump comes up and weeps clear fluid for about three days. Itches like hel_l and have got a couple of creams from local chemist but does not alleviate itching. Anyone suggest a cream, lotion that may work? We are regular visitors to Patong and haven't had them so annoyingly itchy before. We always spray room at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 ...Anyone suggest a cream, lotion that may work?We are regular visitors to Patong and haven't had them so annoyingly itchy before. ... Try Siang Oil to eliminate the itch - always works for me. Can be bought in any pharmacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Another thing that works is the small nasal inhalers you find in all the 7/11's If you take the bottom off you can dad some of the menthol onto the bite. This stops the itching immidiately and its easy to carry abot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw25rw Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 My gf gave me some ointment made of eucalyptus and camphor which seemed to work. There are few creatures I'd happily see become extinct, but mosquitos are one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 vinegar. Half litre bottle costs about 20 baht and lasts for ages. You can also use it on salads! These bites - do you get them on the beach or is it anywhere in Patong? Raising up and weeping fluid sounds like it could be sand-flies or something similar Anyway vinegar works for them really well too. Spray up well and try to not get bitten in the first place.

Tigerladyandhim Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks Dr Dave Tried the Siang Oil and that certainly works. Smells a bit like Tiger Balm. Markg you could be right, maybe it is not mosquito's as we have never had this reaction any where else in Asia or at home. Only here this year and Kata about 18 months ago, we got bitten by somethins and the same reaction Thanks for your help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zpete Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Regular consumption of Marmite or Vegemite will stop skeeters even landing on you. Been working swell over 60 years for me. Seems to make one immune after a period of time consuming either. I usually have it on cupla slices of toast for brekky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkey_rich Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I get the same reaction from the little red ants that bite,and we seem to have a plague of them at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it does not work for everyone, it has been great for my family. The active ingredient is vitamin B12. BTW, sneaky KRAFT have put smaller jars on the market, 50 grammes less, but no price reduction on shelf. Mite have to use Marmite, I liked the glass jars Vegemite came in, so handy.. Marmite is actually fortified with B12, so better for you, made in NZ too,,,,,,,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faux-marmite that tastes worse then vegamite, and comes in those plastic tubs, thats sold out of Villa.. Thats from NZ.. Actually finished my last jar scrapings yesterday and havent seen it in Deli for a while ?? Is it in tops currently ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
