Prevent bed bug and sand flea bites!

by John

I found this remedy by accident while traveling in the Caribbean. The majority of the people I was traveling with (myself included) were getting horrible, red, itchy bites covering mostly our legs. We're talking so many bites that they looked like measles or chicken pox! Nobody was sure where they were getting them but I think they were either sand fleas (locals call them no-see-ums) or bed bugs.

A couple people in our group weren't getting bit nearly as bad and after inquiring I found out that both were using Aloe Vera gel or lotion from head to toe everyday. It didn't work as a remedy but it sure seems to work for prevention. I carry a bottle with me now whenever I travel to the tropics!
