Thanks Valerie. So far, I have never gotten bitten where I had access to hot water and could soak my feet and up about a foot. If I ever get bitten again (likely), hoep I am near the house or RV as I will try your remedy. I read a bunch of home remedies online, some were really bizarre. Yours sounds reasonable
Last time, the day after, I opened and drained the pustules, then put some sort of goop and Bandaids on the sites. This time, I am not opening the pustules. Keeping them gooped up. Man do they itch. Benadryl has had a small positive affect.
