The main reason I do not go outside is bugs. I went outside two nights ago and I now have 17 bug bites to show for it, ONLY on my ankles. And YES I wore bug spray + was only outside for maybe half an hour. They are so itchy I have no idea how anyone in the entire world tolerates bug bites regularly.

Have you tried the little itch relief devices which are super hot for about 3 seconds, but after that: No Itch! Much more effective than creams for me.

Omg no I’ve never heard of that?! Sounds like a mentality of “your bug bite can’t itch if we burn it off entirely” and you know what I would do that rn actually, bout to go heat up a spoon with a lighter and press it against my skin fr

That is how the college kid who patented the fancier device first tested it on himself, or so I have read! Hot spoon! Hope he got rich. That's one of the versions I own, in the previous reply.
