I need help! Mosquito bites....
Sooooo long story short I have to take care of my landlords lawn and garden for 6 weeks. This is the first time I have ever lived anywhere that has grass at all.  I'm such a Queens girl.
I have been watering it mostly every night and the first few nights I got a lot of mosquito bites so I have been putting skin so soft (avon) on before I go out instead of bug spray. It helps a little but the other day I forgot because I was running late and now my legs and arms are COVERED in bites!!!!
So much so that I cant even sit here at work and actually work for an extended period of time without itching like a madman....going out to buy calamine lotion in a bit. Is there anything out there you can reco instead? Like anything better than calamine lotion? I havent used it since I was a kid and I remember the pink getting all over my clothes.
TIA!

It takes the itch away. It really works, for pimples too.

I have found white vinegar to be helpful also. Then you'll smell like a salad!

I got bit by mosquitoes on Sunday night when we went to visit a friend of ours. And the best part is we were in Queens! Ugggh! Arent mosquitoes supposed to be in the burbs more...
I haven't stopped itching since Sunday. Gotta try the Windex! I'm desperate enough to try anything!
