I am the only one in the family who is attacked by these monsters and the day I got there they gave me a nice welcome. Spent the next 4 sleepless nights itching away until I read a suggestion to dip a q-tip in boiling water and dab on each bite. Not only did it kinda feel good but it was the only thing that brought long relief. I ended up putting a wet rag in the microwave for a bit and laying it on my leg to cover more bites and I finally got a good night's sleep!! Avon's Bug spray with picaridin worked well the last time I was there. My parents live in St. Thomas in the winter and the first thing I pack is some bug spray….until my recent visit in January!

I got over 100 noseeum bites. I've been back home in San Diego for over 3 months now. I still have about 20 bites that take their turns driving me nuts. They just wont stop. Some look dried up but still itch of and on. Others still get a small bump that seems to have a little of the poison. I don't understand how they just wont go away. My husband and I went to St Croix.
