Yes i'm an idiot, and i got quite badly sunburned on sunday.
the pain was pretty bad for two days, but is nothing compared to the Hell's itch, fire ants or whatever name you call it, that i'm currently going through....
it'unbearable.
calamine, aloe vera, antihistamines, tomatoes, cider vinegar. I've tried them all.
From what i've read Peppermint oil along with (counterintuitively) really hot showers is apparently the best solution
The showers are working. But I can't find peppermint oil.
Is the spanish word for this, aceite de menta or aceite de yerbabuena???
Can't find it in any chemist or a few dieteticas in Palermo Hollywood. Anyone know a brilliant dietetica in the Palermo area that could have it? or have you found it in any other type of health shop or pharmacy??
Thanks.
Here are some quotes about what i'm going through that i found on the net.
"... someone kill me please..."
" The itching was so bad that I almost snapped. I tried to have my wife knock me out with a 2 x 4"
"At its onset i was shaking uncontrollably, i was actually brought to my knees...i was screaming... i turned to pacing up and down my room, i lost count how many times, it was the only thing that gave me even a slight relief...its somewhere between an itch and thousands of constant insect bites that never end...
“at certain points i just wanted to knock myself out because i couldn't bare the agony any longer, i'm not ashamed to say that, i was almost reduced to tears."
"...this is the worst pain I have ever went through. I now know what it would be like to be buried in an ant hill."
"this should be used as a form of torture for those who commit heinious crimes"
"All I could do is pace back and forth and ramble on about how I just wanted to die!"
"At one point, it was so bad that I started punching myself in the face to get my mind off of it."
"the itch is intolerable and evil. It's the only thing that will bring me to considering jumping out of my 2nd story window, but then I worry that I'll have two broken legs and the itch will remain!"
"It brought me to my knees. I was itching uncontrollably all over my back, screaming and crying hysterically. "
"I want my mom...tequilla..and Codeine."
"it felt like a brush fire spreading across my back and I began to go mental... as if I was possessed by a demon (an itchy demon). “
“This itch is unlike ANYTHING ELSE. It makes me want to rip my skin off using rusty razors, to put it lightly…It sends the sufferer into a demonic state of helplessness as they struggle to cope with the itch which prevails through all numbing, cooling and moisturizing remedies.”
