I am one of those that react badly to the bites - they swell right up and God forbid I happen to scratch one - the itching will not stop. One November I had so many bites on my lower legs, I could not shave them. (and I was wearing bug spray)
I still bring bug spray with me and ALWAYS bring Bendryl spray to use after I get a bite.
this product stops the itch instantly and I find it works better than 'Afterbite'. It comes in a stick form and a cream also.
