As well as mosquito repellent sprays, etc, I took one of those little plastic piezo-electric clicker things with me to the Gulf earlier this year. You put them over the bite and click a couple of times and it it meant to take the itching away.
Every now and again, I'd get bitten if I'd forgotten to put repellent on in time before the little buggers came out. I carried the clicky-thing looped around my smock pocket button to make sure I had it with me pretty much all the time.
I had mixed success with this clicker thing: sometimes it seemed to help and other times, there was little difference. I wonder whether it was psychosematic [sp?] and I'd persuaded myself that it was doing me good sometimes?
What are other people's experiences and does anyone know any of the science behind these gadgets? I'd love to know what the theory is.
