Re: [AlternativeAnswers] itching! Mexican style!

 

Hello All.
I have been reading all the posts about "itching" and thought I would add a bit
to it. I am now living in Mexico in the jungle on the ocean cliffs. We are in
mosquito season and I am the bait! The itching is a set up for insanity. But...
here is how we handle the mosquito bite itching here. We cut a lime (i guess you
could also use a lemon) in half stick a fork into the skin, not so deep as to
poke through the other side, then put it to the flame of the stove and when it
sizzles a bit you brand you area of the itching bite. It takes a bit to get use
to, but it works immediately and stay comfortable for hours. I do this just
before bed so I can sleep the night through. Hope this makes your summers and
wet seasons more comfortable in mosquito lands.

Blessings

Participating Fully,
Wholly Human to Become Wholly Divine
