HI EVERYONE

JUST FOUND AN FANTASTIC TIP FOR AN INSECT BITE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE ITCHNESS IS LIKE,YU SCRATCH AND SCRATCH TILL IT BLEEDS,THEN IT STINGS LIKE CRAZY. PUT TIGER BALM ON IT. I TRIED IT TODAY AT WORK,WHEN I GOT BITTEN BY A HORSE-FLY,NO I DONT WORK OUTSIDE,BUT IN A DOCTORS SURGERY.ONE OF THE PATIENTS TOLD ME ABOUT IT. I RUBBED A TINY BIT ON,AND HAY PRESTO,THE ITCH STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. IT MUST BE THE OILS IN TIGER BALM,AND IF YOU ARE LUCKY AND HAVE A POUND SHOP NEAR YOU,YOU CAN GET IT IN THERE,FOR 5 POTS FOR A QUID. FANTASTIC STUFF,SO I HAD TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.

ONLY 158 DAYS TO MY HOLS,AND I WILL CERTAINLY BE BRINGING A FEW POTS OVER FOR MYSELF AND MY GREEK AND ENGLISH FRIENDS.

Having lived in Malaysia where the mossies are vicious, we used Tiger Balm on the bites but its also good for headaches and muscular pain just rub a little on and it soothes any ache or pain. Most chemist stock it now.

I have had some terrible bites over the years and have used everything to try and stop them biting.Last year it was garlic tablets I tried (not garlic BREAD ) and although I was still bitten a few times, they was just red spots and the bites aren't really itchy, and not massive red blotches <o:p></o:p> And last year was a bad one for mozzies in Corfu

purrypuss whats a clicker???
