Question by Fawnie, Baby Deer, Little Deer: What is the best way to get rid of “sand flea” bites? Or at least the itchiness of them?
I have bites all over the bottoms of my legs and ankles, they itch like crazy.. A dr. wanted to put me on some steroid type stuff to relieve the itchiness, I don’t think that’s such a good idea. Any suggestions on good lotions or anything else less dramatic?

Make a paste of baking soda, and water. Apply it to the bites. It is best to use before the itching starts. This also works for bee stings.
We call them chiggers here…… soak you legs and feet in a tub of warm water with 2 cups of bleach…
Ok think i know this one for sure when i was a little girl i used to get eat up with bugs out side was a dirty little girl lol … True loved to get dirty youngest of 4 kids little sister my grandma used to put me in the tub and sprinkle baking soda in the tub or corn meal also works make it like u gonna eat it and rubb it all over u like u would if u got poison oak works done it to my kids works for chicken pocks to alcahole makes it itch more all thats good for is to kill any germs thats it.. hope it works for u it always made feel better as child cool water not warm wish you all the luck let me know how it helps do it 3 or 4 times a day just leave the tub full everytime u start itching get in it or the oat meal rub..
Over the counter (OTC) best product in every household: Calamine Lotion. It’s an 8% solution of calamine and 8% zinc oxide and is for poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and is a drying lotion. Buy the least expensive (approximately $0.99 to 1.27). Follow the directions (just dab on with a cotton ball to cover liberally, let dry; repeat as necessary).
Mom’s also use it for itchy chicken pox.

@videogamenostalgia you dont have to b filthy to get fleas. You can walk your dog and they can hop on that way. Or someone else could have them and bring them into your home
@musicaladdiction14 y?
@xTashaBaybe oh yeah i forgot about that cause it’s a vet product. i work at a pet store so i don’t sell revolution.
I hate dogs. :/!
step one kick out dog
@glbxx to kill ur mother with a broken lawn chair.
@rivertam00 Revolution also kills flea eggs. I use it on my dog and it’s kind of similar to Frontline (it’s an applicator that you apply to their neck).
ew…
flea collars do not work. yes they are cheap as hell so people use them but they do nothing on the pet. the only good thing to do with them is to break them up in your vacuum bag so when you vacuum they will get killed off in the bag. frontline plus is the only product to my knowledge that works well. you should treat your pets BEFORE they get fleas. frontline plus is given monthly and is applied to the skin and is absorbed into the blood stream. it’s the only one that kills the eggs as well.
I heard putting a bowl of vinegar will attract them and they drown, so it helps.
