I got eaten alive taking out the bins and there wasn’t any Stingose in my first aid box. I washed the bites clean with soapy water in the shower then dabbed the roll on over and let it dry.

It seemed to help a little. Temporarily. It’s absolutely not the right type of aluminium (Stingose contains aluminium sulfate) but it’s alright when you don’t have or can’t afford anything else.

I have sweet blood and an allergy to mozzie saliva so have now added a tube of Stingose gel to my usual shop.
