So...
Mozzies are what Australians call mosquitoes. And this being a tropical island there are apparently a million of them. So, if you don't put on bug spray then you'll get bitten. And when you get bitten you get bitten a million and one times. Mostly all over your legs and then you are allergic so they welt up horribly and itch so bad it wakes you up at 3:30am....
This being said, we are pretty miserable when it comes to the intense itching happening. And then you get itch cream from the nurse and can't find it when you get back cause your roommates probably threw it out.....ughhh. Someone help us!!! Send us bug spray and itch cream! We are desperate!
We still love you, and sorry for the complaining

Totally relating to itchies from suffering weeks on end with poison ivy. Fasting with prayer come to mind!! (juz kiddin) A tip Matt gave me is a terrifically hot shower followed by allowing the water to evaporate in order to cool the skin. Really helped the ivy itch at least. Putting wet hand towels in the freezer then placing them all over the itchies at night, switching out towels every 30 minutes is a lovely memory too. Ivarest is my favorite anti-itch cream. Can you get it there? I'll mail you some if not!!! (super pics!)

ReplyDeletewe're doing better on the bites. I read somewhere that if you took a spoon and ran it under hot water then it gets rid of the sting so thats worked. But now I had a sprained ankle sooo it's always something. ~ Lindsey
