Red Bugs

Anyone have any suggestions on how to relieve or stop Red Bugs from biting? I have already applied nail polish to bites as they appear.

Antihistamine will help ie. Benadryl tablets.

Always used to paint the bites with clear nail polish. Supposed to choke the little buggers. I think it mainly stopped the scratching.

Get a Benadryl stick and put on for the itching, works good. The itching is from the bite stuff they squirt in ya, an allergic reaction, not the little guy livin in there

Leave your wife's nail polish alone

Pour lighter fluid on them and strike a match. When they run out stab them to death with an ice pick.

The only thing I've found to stop the itch is bendryl clear gel. It really works.
