My boys (young men) are 24 & 19 now and they no longer have bad reactions to mosquito or ant bites.
But my oldest son is highly allergic to wasp stings... Benadryl is always on hand.

Thanks for your reply. That must have been very scary when that happend to your son's leg. Last summer my daughter got bit on the ankle and it swelled up so much that she couldn't wear her running shoe or bend her ankle - she was limping. Since your son is also allergic to wasps I wonder are the 2 related. What I mean is, do you think if one has a bad reaction tot mosquitos, that they may also be allergic to bees or wasps too? Luckily my daughter's never been stung yet by any of those. Thanks again.
