I live in Guadalajara and Dengue is definitely an issue. I had Dengue, several people I know had Dengue, and I don’t ever want it again. Lavender oil seems to be working well for me this year, and I will use mosquito nets too.

The following are suggestions. Match the symptoms to the remedy. If one doesn’t work, move on to another. When you find the one that works for your symptoms be sure to keep it nearby for future bites. Remember that homeopathics work with energy so keep them away from direct sunlight, devices and strong odors.

Bug bites that result in welts, if severe, one dose of homeopathic Urtica urens 30C would be dissolved under the tongue every 15 minutes or so until the reaction calms down.

For pain from insect bites or stings with stinging, burning, itching and with watery swelling, homeopathic Apis mellifica 30C.

For insect bites with bruising and pain better with cold compress try homeopathic Ledum palustre 30C.

Cease using when symptoms begin to improve.

O negative blood type here. Mosquitoes love O blood. There can be a house full of people, but when I am there, everyone else wakes up unbitten and I am bitten all over. In Pta Vallarta, I slept like a mummy, bound up in a sheet every nite to stop the mosquitoes. Only pony in this is that, statistically, O blood type people have far less health health risks than other food types.

Hmmm I’m O- and they love me, too!Nobody else seems to understand how much it affects my life, the itching is unbearable. And they last two weeks and leave behind a brown spot on my skin.

I have lived in Mexico City for 8 years, and I find it very strange that window screens are not used here. Even the most elegant homes don’t have window screens.

Lavender is also said to be very relaxing. Hopefully it doesn’t work because you’re so relaxed you just don’t care you got bit. ????

Some people would probably have to stay in the shower all day and all night with the bar of soap.

Thank you so much for this! I’m so scared of being bit and I see so much mix talk. I’m also O+ and my husband is like a natural mosquito repellent hahaha he never gets bit… I get it all. I will definitely give the lavender a try!

I read a study where products were tested to see which would work the best against being bitten by mosquitos and the best product was PALMER’S Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Skin Therapy Body Lotion. Give that a try.
