Mozzie bites getting you down? Try this.

…..menthol talc.  You can get it in the pharmacies here – ‘Talco Mentolato’ and it seems to take the itch out of those pesky and all too frequent mozzie bites.  It appears to have worked for me, well, the bites have stopped itching.

We had some of the stuff lying around after the chicken pox outbreak which hit my son and myself.

This talcum powder did not do much for chicken pox itchiness, but, so far, the mozzy induced itchiness seems to have gone.

Try it, you might like it – unless you are allergic to talcum powder, as my other half claims to be.

    Hello,
    I was in Europe a few years ago and a freind of mine from Italy gave me something for a headache that I believe he called “Minute”, are you familiar with it? I have looked around on the web but can’t find any info about it. It worked great
    Thanks
