So it's not that, you know, your blood will taste as sweet as mine.

It's just whether they can find you or not.

It's like playing hide and seek, but with 8 billion mosquitoes.
voice-verified
Yes, it is.
voice-verified
So those are the things that will help reduce your risk of getting bitten.
voice-verified
Once you get bitten, then what do you do?
voice-verified
So itchiness is a nightmare.
voice-verified
So keep going with your antihistamine.
voice-verified
In the night, you might want to take a sedating antihistamine like Pyroton, which will help you sleep and you're not waking up scratching.
voice-verified
In the daytime, take a non-drowsy antihistamine.
voice-verified
And then I always buy some hydrocortisone cream, which is a mild steroid.
voice-verified
You can buy it over the counter and you can pop that on your bite and it helps reduce the itch and the inflammation as well.
voice-verified
And then just keep an eye on the bite to make sure it's not getting infected.
voice-verified
So if that redness starts to swell or if it starts to fill with pus, then you might need antibiotics.
voice-verified

voice-verified
They've scratched and then it's gone infected.
voice-verified
But most of the time, it's just a pain in the arse.
voice-verified
So there you go.
voice-verified
Antihistamines for the week beforehand and the hair dryer if you get bitten.
voice-verified
So jellyfish sting with their tentacles and they've got little hooks on their tentacles that activate and release venom into you.
