Oh, and Afta-Bite is essentially......ammonia....seriously...
Fresh lime juice takes away the itch, and is readily available.

Has anyone tried wearing a pet flea collar around the ankles at sunset? I was going to give it a try this reach.
If you are worried about something, do something about it. If there is nothing you can do, why worry!
There's probably a bunch of reasons why this is not a good idea but I'd be curious to know if that really works.Originally Posted by Stoners6
If you are outside or in your room the HiLo and ValueMaster(I think that's the name) sells this bug spray in a green can. O M G...that stuff works!!! Just spray it around the doors and windows or wherever you are sitting.

I prefer the Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum option.
As Baloo Jr recommended "get pissed early"!!!
That way you don't give a flying bumba clot about no ras clot bugs!!!

the first 10 years i weny,i used to get a couple hundred sand flea bites on my ankles.then i decided to give the flea collers a try,and they worked awsome.not one sand flea bite at all.so the last 22 years ive used them,and recomend them highly.do not put them on tight though.leave enough room so they slide up and down your leg.leave them on in the water so it washes off.i put them on when i get there and take them off when i leave.i also sleep with them on.if they dont slide up and down your leg,you will get a rash,so leave them loose and have a great time in jamaica.
I get eaten alive here too gluecipher! Must be the beer......
JB works too. One night we were hanging out with a number of my gentleman's friends in the yard. The rum flowing and so were the tall tales. I swore the more rum I had, the better I could follow the patois. We were laughing and having such a good time. Suddenly I realized that I had had a "wee bit too much" and after contemplating how I was going to make a graceful exit for about 20 minutes (way too many witnesses, I didn't want the guys to see I had hit the wall), I managed to stand up and make my way around the back of the board house without losing too much of my dignity. I was sitting in the back door on the bed room floor, trying to let my head clear. My friend checked on me often to make sure I was OK but I would not be budged. At some point, I decided that since the mosquitoes didn't seem to be biting so I could lie down right where I was for just a little while.....
As the morning sun was heating up my legs, which had been hanging out the back door all night - I realized that the skeeters had been quite active - but JB never let me feel a ting!
I looked up at where my friend was sleeping on the bed - safely wrapped in a sheet, bite free and comfy. "Hey! Why didn't you get me up?" "I tried babes but there was no budging you."
Moral of the story: JB does not make a good husband but it's great as an anesthetic!
NO! NO! NO! I don't know how often I have to say this but, NO!!!!!
ANIMAL FLEA COLLARS ARE POISONOUS TO HUMANS.

if you will look at the pictures that you have posted,you will see the marks of the flea collers on his ankles.the reason being that he wore them under his sock TIGHT against his skin.i wear mine loosly on my ankles so they can slide up and down your skin and are NOT tight against the skin.i dont think the solder was getting then washed off in the water either.mine is washed of all the time im in the water and move around on my ankles.they get wet,dry off then get wet and move around.deet, that you rub, in is in contact with your skin for a longer time than the flea collers.i wear them for 3 weeks straight every year ive gone to jamaica.(20 years).without a single incident.and no bites. i write this every year you put those pictures up.a lot of people that i know have done this and have written me to thank me for the relief that they have gotten from the collers.so you can say no,no no,but i speaking from many years of wearing them,say yes ,yes,yes,as long as you wear them loosly.you might want to try them too,so you could speak from experience.i KNOW what im talking about.
