I was told that Vicks vapor rub or any similar would reduce those nasty  
red ant bites within a day.   I think it's something to do with the  
eucalyptus, menthol.. that's in those things.


I spray CS plus oregano oil on all my bites.. it's semi relieving.. but  
not perfect..




In a discussion about menthol on the list I learned  about " White Monkey 
Holding Peach "-- ( I know -- crazy name ) but is has  more menthol in it 
than is allowed in the U.S,  When a bugger bites me-- I  put a small amount on 
the bite & problem is gone... I did a search & put  in the name..Ordered 
from a company in Thiland... I luv the stuff...  Lois
