I need a remedy for yellow fly bites.?
Someone please help me, I received about ten yellow fly bites about 2 days ago, mostly on my feet. I used an insect repellent, but they still bit me. I didn't sleep last night from the relentless itching. I can't wear shoes, or stand anything to touch the bite areas. Please, Please tell me something to help relieve this terrible itching. I have used hydrocortisone cream and ice packs...ice packs seem to work better.
Try this.. Get a bottle of Adolphs Meat Tenderizer.. Only Adolphs..not the generic. Put some of it in a small cap or whatever and add some water to make a paste. If you add too much water just put a little more tenderizer in it. Put the paste on your bites.
This works for ANY insect bite that has alkaline neurotoxins. Alolphs meat tenderizer has papaya and other stuff which actually penetrate the skin and go into the tissue (this is how it tenderizes meat).. it destroy the molecular bonds that make up fat (acidic)..which also seems to counteract Alkaline neurotoxins and neutralize them. If you get bit by wasp, bee, fire ant etc.. use this. I always keep one extra bottle on hand in case I or my wife gets bit by something. My wife got nailed by about 13 ground wasps one day mowing. I had to get her to the ER.. But.. before we left I put this remedy on her feet and ankles. We got her to the ER where they gave her all kinds of other stuff...but it helped with her pain until I could get her there. I've used it myself on multiple fire ant bites.
Good luck.. hope you feel better
