I've been stung by LFA hundreds of times. HUNDREDS. I hate them. Lately due to Siesta and Provaunt the stings only happen when we go into untreated areas, but with 6 acres that happens all the time. I've tried every possible product including prescription creams my doctor and I have tried. I have also used "home remedy" type treatments like ammonia with limited success.
Longs in Pahoa has a tiny "discounted" area with expiring products and there was a poison ivy itch relief product called MAXIMUM STRENGTH IVAREST for 66 cents. I thought, what the hell, we've tried everything else. And since the price was right, I bought all 3 of them.
The product doesn't soothe mosquito bites at all, but when used on LFA stings both my wife and I have had nearly INSTANT AND PERMANENT RELIEF. I'm not kidding... get stung... apply product... about 10 minutes later the itching/burning horrible sensation is gone and it never returns. The welt shrinks to about nothing and heals quickly.
In case you can't find the product (or think that I'm a celebrity spokesman) here are the active product ingredients so you can search for a different brand or label. I've tried them individually without success but this product works for us...
Calamine 14%
Benzyl Alcohol 10.5%
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride 2.0%
