"tanks" Stand Down for repairs.

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Shirley I am like you, midge feast on feet but George has bites on his legs and they don't bother him at all. :roll: Snake was a brownish one with a silvery tummy from what I saw of it..

Lots of bananas is the cure sandfly bites, they will leave you alone and if they do bite you don't get the reaction. If you are reacting badly to the bites you need anti hystamines (probably spelt wrong) and lots of metho on cotton wool to dab on the bites.

Bananas are expensive up here so I shall stick to putting on the magic cream of Rosemary & Cedar wood. No Metho now as G used the last drops in the window washer reservoir. Anyway you are miles from here so how am I supposed to dab the metho soaked cotton ball on?? :)

Good luck with that cream stopping the midgies Dot. It doesn't stop the march flies either.

While not a cure all, vitamin B has helped us survive. It needs to be in your system for a couple of months for optimum effect.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It helps you recognise a mistake when repeated.

Guess that is why I have an allergic reaction to them, I have vitamin B deficiency, have to have injections, they just love me.
Last trip to Qld I was bitten at Bangal beach.
The best treatment I have found although a little expensive is Eurax cream, made in Switzerland we always carry some with us. White vinegar & metho do relieve the itch but only for a short time.
