For bites that are driving you absolutely out of your mind try a paste of MSG and water (just enough to dampen but not make runny). Apply to itchy area and allow to dry. Brush off and reapply if needed. Seems that it must be the meat tenderizer tenderizes the itch out. Don't know the real reason this works but tried it the first time when MIL was bitten on ring finger by wasp. We were way out in the boonies and looking at a 50 mile trip to doctor and to have the rings cut off. This took the itch and swelling down, saved us the trip and saved the rings. Good stuff though with as many bites as it sounds like you have, you might wind up looking like a big sugar donut. Sorry Bay Bayou is not what it seemed for you.
