Thanks Hawkeye, for the suggestions. I've switched to Claratin. The Zyrtec just wiped me out. I tried the meat tenderizer suggestion last night. I slept with it on and wrapped my ankle in gauze. I think it may have helped somewhat with the itch...although I can't see much positive change in the bite. It's still spreading slightly. I'm going to do it again tonight and see if it helps more. My dogs sure loved the smell of my ankle with that meat tenderizer on it. Ha!
The antibiotics I am on is giving me lots of "wind". Thankfully it is agreeing with my IBS-D. I think the probiotics I have been taking has helped tremendously.
