My poor baby

[Bailey+Ralph]

Maddison keeps getting bitten by all the Idgies (thats what i call them).

So not only was she covered in bites...........but this morning she gets up and has loads more over her arms, legs and face.........she was feeling sick and had a Temp.

Off the the Emerg-Doc we go.
Turns out that she is allergic to the bites
She has cream to put on the bites and Anti-histamine for the itching........i hope they clear up soon, they don't look nice and she is so Not that you'd think it in this 1st pic LOL

Awww I hope they clear up soon, I hate itchy bites. Is the cream helping?

Not as yet...........but the Anti-histamine is easing the itching

Oh thats good then, there is nothing worse than itching.

 

[Roxy's CD]

What bit her? Do you know?

Poor child. I'm an adult and I can't stop my self from scratching... LOL

 

[Squidbert]

Awwww.. poor little cutie!

I hope all the bites go away real soon.

 

[koda's mom]

poor baby

I can sympathize, I am also allergic to bug bites, I used to thrash around on the floor when I was young, because mom would not let me scratch. Hydrocortisone helps too.

 

[Bailey+Ralph]

Roxy, they are just little flying gnats that are biting her

Koda's mom: Hydrocortisone is what she has been given

Sweet face even with the spots ...poor little dolly. Hope they clear up quickly and the little creatures leave her the heck alone!!

 

[Snark]

Awww, poor little girl! Hope she feels better soon!

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Poor baby! I hope it all goes away fast!!

I wonder if it's what we call sand gnats or 'no-see-ums'.

Could be!
I personally call them "The little B*stards"

 

[mjb]

Our sand gnats only live fairly close to the coast. I don't know if you're in a coastal area or not. They're small enough that some of them can come through screens. When they're out in force, you just have to leave it to them and come inside.

we have em on the lake mjb. and we have em in the house right now GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. and u cant get anything to kill em.

 

[Giny]

Aw, what a sweet face! Poor baby though, my son would empathize since he's a "biting bug" magnet also. Someone once mentioned about giving him garlic tablets, lol sounds like I'm talking about a dog, in order to repel the insects. I haven't tried it yet, your post did remind me of it. I need to go to the store and pick some up.

 

[smkie]

poor baby, hope she has relief now!

 

[Bailey+Ralph]

Well here is an update........1stly i would like to say to MJB that we live about 300-400 yards from the Beach!

Ok, so i now have 3 children all covered in these awful bites

Giny i will go and buy some tomorrow
I will try anything to stop these things from eating my kids!!

 

[Renee750il]

Owwww . . . I feel for her. I'm allergic to mosquito bites. So guess who they'll bite instead of anyone else Old fashioned calamine lotion helps too, and the Benadryl spray. And spraying clothes with OFF! or some other repellent as well as putting it on exposed skin. Avon's Skin So Soft works pretty well too.

 

[Bailey+Ralph]

I was thinking.........when they all had Chicken Pox i didn't use Calamine.......Instead i put them in a bath with Bicarbonate of Soda, that worked wonders for relieving the Itching I would imagine that it would work for this too?
