I'm going to get a pet bat

I can't remember ever being woken up by the itchiness of mosquito bites.  This is insane.  I have literally woken up three times in the last 45 minutes or so due to itchy legs, ankles, and feet.  I'm slathering myself in hydrocortisone cream in the hopes that it works better than the baking soda paste and the bug bite gel

I remember the Skin-So-Soft stuff by Avon used to work well for keeping bugs away. Not sure if they even sell it anymore.

Oh yeah, and that one smelled really good!! I also found that there is a eucalyptus lemon oil that supposedly works as well as, if not better than, bug sprays with DEET, so I'm going to look into that. This is the most intense bug bite itching I've ever had!!! :(
