Oh you poor girl. You're allergic to mosquitoes. I am too. When they bite they inject something like a blood thinner so as they suck on your blood it doesn't clot up. I have used Carona Ointment all my life. My parents answer for any injury was "wool fat and a band aid". Technically it's for animals, but don't let that stop you. It's an antiseptic, so it draws out anything foreign, infection, pus, etc. It doesn't burn, it's thick and a little goes a long way. If the jar gets a film on top just stir it up and mix that lanolin fat back in. Good luck. ❤❤ Love your videos.

Re. Mozzies - agree with other advice given, but talk to GP, a month before you travel to ensure most suitable anti-histamine (different strengths) and may be beneficial to take for longer than a week prior to need as they 'build up resistance' in your body. Also, in some cases, for repeated and severe situations, GPs sometimes prescribe an anti-biotic for use when needed by a trustworthy patient; you might be able to take antibiotics with you. Obviously though, prevention is best and keep wounds clean!

I have had them infected as well & ended up in hospital, so try to take the antihistamines (I try 8-10 days before I go then my whole trip, and for a bit when I’m back). Never be embarrassed by them! Just means you have the good blood 🤣 but they can be so painful as well so I feel your pain! If they are getting infected, draw a circle round them to see how much they grow as well in case they continue to get worse x

I also get bitten by mosquitos and they get sort of infected and half my calf is red and tender and I usually take Aerius, a type of antihistamine. Also, when I was in Vietnam for a month I got mosquito spray repellents from there, because the mosquitos were a different species than the ones we have in Romania. We didn't have to take any anti-malaria medicine, so that was great. I am so excited for what other locations you choose to visit next.. Omg you even mentioned Vietnam. We had a great time there for the entire month of February, we got to experience their traditional Lunar New Year, Tet, the city was decorated so nicely, I would move there tomorrow.

Aw Madeline thank you! It was amazing. Ah bless you I feel your pain it’s awful isn’t it! Not heard of Aerius so I’ll look into that. I think my next trip is going to be Vietnam next year! So I’ll take your advice and buy stuff out there too! A whole month there must have been amazing I wish I could do that!! We’re going to add on Cambodia and Bangkok too so it’ll be about 3 weeks I think! Thanks so much x

@@irisbudgets That's brilliant!!! I am so excited for you.. and that you made a little travel group of friends on this trip to Jordan! ❤ Depending on the time of the year you go, you can visit southern Vietnam in January/February (We went to Ho Chi Minh, Mekong Delta, Cu Chi Tunnels and Phu Quoc island among others) but the rest of the group also visited the northern part, Hanoi, Da Nang and Ha Long Bay and it was rather cold. And yes, one of the couples we went with had their honeymoon there and did a tour of Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam the previous year and they were dying to go back.

So glad your back I've missed my morning fix😁Being a Scottish red head living in Australia the mozzies love me!!! I always use Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus it also has an SPF of 30. It is the best one I have tried for me. To treat bites I use tea tree oil, I also take a bad reaction to mozzie bites! Can't draw she says, your camel looks great 😄Love Errol 🦉

Spider 🕷️ bites, mosquitoes are smaller,I lived in South Africa and if you have sweet blood 🩸 mosquitoes love you. Sun protection with lemon 🍋 flavour in it as mosquitoes 🦟 hate lemons. Loved 🥰 your trip and all the historical buildings were amazing 🤩 😊❤

Pausing the video to say Iris go travel, go wild girl. You are so right, life is incredibly short and we should strive for what makes us happy. My grandmother used to always tell me as a child that I should travel when young because when you get to her age (and mind she wasnt old back then she has sadly passed now!) you just can't arsed and she was right. 40 is young and I don't think you should have to justify to anyone about spending your mula on seeing the world. I hope you do manage to get the funds together for the trip 💖 Back to the video now after my rant heh!

Aw thank you so much. I’m glad of all the support telling me to travel while I can because I totally agree. I’ve decided on Vietnam next year so I’ll go into it in my next trip. You’re grandmother was so right. Better to do it now while I can and can enjoy the adventures! Xxx

I’m the same I’m SO over reactive to mosquitos and they love to bite me, I went to Greece a few years back and was bitten 100+ times on my legs and my legs welted up and wept. So painful and embarrassing, since then I always use a cream or gel based mosquito repellent any brand but I won’t just spray my legs in case I miss an area, if I do get a bite calamine cream is amazing, the thick kind that dries up and cracks and then wash it off wish water. after it heals I scarred up a lot so I used aloe Vera gel and dry brushed my legs a few times a week to get rid if the red scars. Hope that help.

Aw Leigh isn’t it awful! I feel your pain. 100 times!!!! Christ you must have nearly gone into anaphylactic shock! Bless you. You’re right it is embarrassing. And although people on the trip were really nice and looked after Me, I was embarrassed as a 40 year old woman nearly in tears from the pain! It’s awful. That’s such great advice thank you so much. The ones on my ankles / feet will scar but it’s cool I couldn’t let them breathe 😕 xx

When I get bit i usually put some kind of bug cream on it with a big plaster and the next day its usually down by half the size. Im not sure if it'll work on you as well because my reactions arent as bad as yours but hopefully it does ❤️😂
