I took a walk on the week-end and was eaten alive by mosquitos or some other blood-sucking insect. I have 15 red welts on my legs and my calves now look like a big leg of smoked ham. EW. They're just sooo itchy. I work up in the middle of the night cuz they were just driving me insane. I've smothered toothpaste on them in hopes to making this

lol I got a couple of bites just now...but reading your story made my itching problems feel minute. you can also get aloe vera gel from pharmacies... it isn't as pure as the plant but is considerably easier to transport around, as well as being less drying on the skin, i think. but the 'real' stuff from the plant is probably the best for a number of organic and soothing reasons.

willpower is the way to go, lol...but i understand with 15 you'd need something extra, heh. welts doesn't sound like bites... are you sure it isn't poison oak/ivy? welts just sounds much more gross and serious than a little mosquito bite.. unless you are allergic.

wow, seeing a triathalon! i'd love to go do that.. it's just one of those things on a long list. next time you go (or run!) to/in a triathalon, let me know ;) i think triathletes have to train quite frequently.. it's a big time sink like any other sport. i feel perhaps that my talents and time would be better used elsewhere... although I do like to bike. perhaps I could do bicycling, but am wary of the running/swimming...
