Antihistamine

Take one antihistamine each day for all the summer to prevent moskito reaction. Only way to stop suffering. I had reaction like this since i'm little. A doctor told me to do this. Moskito prefer some people over other. They like me very much. I don't think it's related to biologic. You need protection from tic too.

Not all year around but just for the season of moskitos and you can ask your pharmacist or doctor, it's the best thing to do. It's them that told me to do it. But i agree to always at least check with a pharmacist because everybody is different. I also have a horse and the vet told me to try the same antihistamine than mine but in a big quantity. It work but the cost for a bottle a day for all summer i bought him a net to cover all his body instead. In Québec there's a lot of them and i don't know why they prefer me to anybody else. My horse have the same problem. He's with a group and he is the only one that react like this and have that amount of bite. I put a picture of him just for fun all the bump are a bite and it's on all his body. My skin look like his during summer. Or you can stay inside or buy a full moskito net for you. It's really ugly but i use it when i'm going in the wood. Full face shield, long sleeve and pants. But they can bite trough tuff jeans. Good luck.

Why not use a good insect repellent?

I did. I used insect repellent in creme on my skin plus the net plus repellent in spray in the net plus anti histamine because they always find a place to bite.

Good for you. Didn't work for me. Great outdoor is better. In cream. So i have to put in cream on skin and in spray on cloth. Used both at the same time and it's not enough. Can help for 30 min to one hour at best.
