...and I'm blogging from my bathroom. I wish it was because I was keyed up about something or because I had something really great to look forward to, but its not. The reason I can't sleep is because I have EIGHT chigger bites on my feet that are itching like crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! Since Wednesday, I've battled mosquito and chigger bites in some fashion (yes, we're going on four days of this nonsense)!
In the past four days, I've tried the following treatments and haven't had much luck:
- a hot, soapy shower after I got bit
- clear nail polish (3 times)
- baking soda and water paste
- soaking in epsom salt and water
- soaking in baking soda and water
- Cortizone-10
- Campho-Phenique
- Benadryl (I just googled this so I'm waiting for it to work and I put some more nail polish on for good measure)
I have never had this much pain and frustration with chiggers before. It seriously is driving me crazy because who sits on their toilet at 2:17 a.m. blogging. Ughhh!! I guess I will add another layer of nail polish and pray the Benadryl works. Or at least knocks me out...
