Block Party… for Mosquito’s!

So, last Saturday our block came together in the name of food and drink and socializing. It was really fun – until those famous Minnesota Mosquito’s came out and attacked me for no reason. I have various bites all over my back, arms and legs. Typically for me, they would itch for around a day subside and then disappear. Not this time- they itched right up til last night. Monday during the day I was speaking with someone at work about the attack and she looked a few of my bites and told me that I may be having an allergic reaction to the bites. A quick post on my Facebook page confirmed the diagnosis. I was in luck those she had some Benadryl close by and she would be happy to share. I was extremely grateful as I could not take the itching anymore! Within an hour the itching was gone and I could actually think about other things. I also learned 2 very good lessons on Facebook. There are 2 really good bug sprays out there. One from Avon called Skin So Soft and Lemon Eucalyptus. I cannot thank you all enough for helping me learn about new products that are healthy for me. Next block party I am going to try on of these suggestions and hopefully I will not have the same reaction!
