Seriously. I cannot ...I prefer pain over itching. Seriously. I cannot stand itching. However, like you, I have an extreme reaction to most insect bites. Not only that, but I'm allergic to poison ivy, oak and sumac. I spent some very awful weeks, full of wearing gloves, being coated with pink Calamine lotion, and taking ice cold baking soda baths. Blech. I'm so glad poison ivy is not typically an issue in Colorado!<br /><br /><a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">Shannon at The Warrior Muse</a>, co-host of the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">2012 #atozchallenge</a>!
