Any help with no-see-um bites?

I got nearly eaten alive in the Keys over the weekend. I had no idea I was even getting bitten until about 24 hours later when the itching and burning started in the middle of the night.
Now it's 4 days later and these damn bites have barely eased up. I'm taking Benadryl at night, dousing with rubbing alcohol and anti-itch spray/gel.
This shite is worse than any mosquito or ant bite. When do they go away?

I don't know an answer but I'm following this. My wife gotten eating alive in mexico last week. I maybe got like 3-4 bites the whole time, she looked like she had some kind of disease from it.

Get in touch with your Dr or go to after hours, steroids do wonders

Zyrtec, Xyzol, Claritin or any other anti-histamine will do the trick.
Get some topical steroid cream like OTC hydrocortisone cream.
Or go see your doctor and ask for a Celestone shot and topical Betamethasone, but that over kill.

The bane of my existence at my house. Can't even be on my driveway at dusk. Things will eat you alive.

Get a potent steroid cream from your doc for Ultravate or Temovate. Can use it whenever you get bites

Within a couple of hours little scabs started to appear where the bites are, and they seem to be drying out and will hopefully vanish.
Thanks man.

Zappas is the GOAT. Better than my suggestion which is try to forget about it. It works until you scrub in the shower
