Child with reaction to mozzy bites
My 4 year old daughter gets very bad reactions to mozzy bites and I
have to cover her with bandaides to stop her scratching them, then sometimes she gets a reaction to the bandaides too. I usally use some bepanthum or savlon on them as well. She seems to get biten when no one else does, even when we are just doing ordinary/everday activities. I am wondering if there is anything safe to use on children's skin to stop them from getting biten. And can it be used safely day and night during the summer. |

I hear mozzies don't like garlic, so you could try adding more garlic to your cooking. Tea-tree oil might work on the stings, but apply carefully as it's strong stuff.

I am wondering if there is anything safe to use on children's skin to stop them from getting biten. And can it be used safely day and night during the summer. I have the same problem, both myself and my 2 year old son react very badly to mossies. For him, I spray repellent on his clothes, keep him in long sleeves and long pants during bug dining hours - dusk - and use an antihistamine cream when he does get bitten. If he has more than 1 or 2 bites I will give him benadryl to lessen the allergic reaction. He has swollen badly once or twice, the child safe sprays just don't work for him, so the doc advised me to spray his clothes before I put them on him and make sure his legs and arms are covered, socks tucked in if necessary. It's a pain in the neck being so sensitive to bug bites, I feel your daughters pain, I can sit with a group of people and be the only one bitten! I have ended up in hospital twice with cellulitis caused by scratching bug bites so please do your best to prevent her from scratching, especially with dirty fingernails. |

They just confuse the mosquitos, rather than repelling them. We also got a quiet little clip on noisemaker that scares them off by making a dragonfly sound. We have had trouble with bandaid reactions too. The white paper skin tape (3m brand) combined with sepatately bought pads cut to size works better for us. --Betsy |

Hi everyone. Thankyou for all your ideas and suggestions. I will be trying them. Sorry I used the word mozzy, rather than mosquito. |
