Ahhh ... Find one at last

Maybe some of you, who know my Megan personally or who have follow my previous posts know how sensitive is Megan's skin.
If she was bitten by 3 or more mosquitoes at almost the same time (meaning found a few mosquitoes bites on her skin), she 'll start to show allergic symptoms such as swelling eyes, swelling skin, runny nose, and some time, fever.
I try to keep mosquitoes away from her but... true love is hard to be separated. she wear long pants everywhere, school or even at home, still the mozzie will kiss her palm, toes, ears and worse, face.

It's hard to create mosquitoes free zone in my house since we have two pet dogs and we have garden on our front yard.

I have tried a lot of patches and oil to ward off mosquitoes such as MOSOUT patches, lavender oil, lemongrass oil but still, now and then,we still found mozzis bitten on her skin.

Then, we tried a lot of ointments to ease the allergic reaction and itchiness such as Mopiko, Zam buk,Oronineh Oinment, True herbs vine salve, Moz-Bite cream, Buds super soothing and rescue lotion even some docter's prescription cram such as such as Dextacream, Apolar, Elopro , she still cried in pain of her swelling toes or fingers or palm or ankle.

One night, when i flipped to re read my old prevention magazines, i just accidentally found out this simple yet miraculous oil: peppermint oil.

I bought it from whooppieskiddies online store from Singapore.
just a dab of the oil on the bitten wound, it naturalize the toxin and ease the swelling almost miraculously.
The redness from bites are still there but no longer itching (most important, ehh) and the swelling is eased.
