I've been fighting random spider bites all summer that left me itching for weeks. Mow the lawn = itch like hell.
Cremes and anti-thisamines and whatever didn't work.
I must have mowed down some spider condo this morning because I had hundreds of bites and they all itched like hell...this on top of the ones I had for a week. What hell, itching for weeks and weeks.
Called the GF who is a PA and she came right over. Had me strip naked and she used....a hair dryer on me. Each inch unpleasant, and NOT cooked. 15 minutes later, no itch. Half a day later? No itch and no redness. Had me cool off in the shower in cold water after getting bits blown dry, even though she was careful.
Her trick was to use hot air from the blow dryer on (each swath of bites) until it became uncomfortable for me (no burning flesh). End result? No itches.
She'd heat up each bite area until the heat became uncomfortable, then she'd back off...no more than half a minute or so. She did this once or twice on each area. End result? No itch...at all.
