And just a wee bite update - the new stuff has worked wonders!

I slept like a log, no itching, and all the swelling has gone down so they are not painful anymore either. Yee-ha. This stuff really eased them

Then this combo to prevent them has made a huge difference. I have 2 bites I think are new but it’s actually possible I had them even before I used this stuff

Hooray!

I have my CVS cortisone10 anti itch cream packed for our upcoming trip. It was Recommended by pharmacist a few years back when like yourself I had multiple bites and was miserable with it. As you say it doesn’t prevent bites but eases the pain and itch.

Loving reading your daily reports. We are planning to do a week AMI and another week along the coast somewhere next May. Have made a mental note to get 100% deet like I used in Dominican. I feel your pain,I had very similar to this in Cyprus many years ago and it makes me very paranoid now! Gorgeous photos.

Beautiful photos Helen!
You poor poor thing with your bites, I’m glad the calamine helped numb them slightly.
I too had exactly the same day last year, annoyed with my bites, annoyed about the Red Tide, annoyed with Jim and the kids (not sure why now!) but after a little cry and some me time on the beach I was fine! What better place to have the grumps after all 😆

Those sunset photos! Wow! Just gorgeous.
Your poor legs, no wonder you grumpy! When we go away this year is me and four men, I know I will need to take myself somewhere regularly to vent!
Your meals look lovely too, I love key lime pie.

Apart from your bites, poor you, the place looks like paradise

Enjoying your trippie! I got eaten by the noseeums at St Pete Beach many years ago; I hope the Off! helped; I remember it being the only stuff that helped me! Oh and an electric clicker thing to take away the worst of the itching
