Bug bite on the eye!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Sigh...I hate bugs!

While at work the day before yesterday, I was bitten on the eyelid by a misquito. I didn't think anything of it, as I've been bitten a billion times in Nevada by the little jerks and other than some itching, nothing came of it. The misquitos here seem to give me a bit more of a reaction though. Any bite Ive gotten on the hands or arms have swollen up and have itched a LOT more than Im used to. Nothing a little anti-itch lotion and time didn't fix though .
Now my eyelid is SWOLEN to the point where I can hardly see out of it . It was like that yesterday too, but I figured some rest and an anti alergy pill would take care of it...of course not . Now I'm going to the clinic to get it looked at by a doctor, I hope they can figure something out!
I'll post an update as soon as I get home. Bugs...argh!

That sounds just awful! I hope they can get you quick relief.

Ouch! My 2 1/2 year old daughter was bitten on the eyelid a couple of weeks ago, and her eye was pretty swollen. Thankfully, Benadryl seemed to do the trick for her.

mosquitos are a reason I ALWAYs ALWAYS have Off Repellent with me... LOL... it was worse when I was younger but they still tend to "prefer" me over other people around.. my kid has my curse too

hope your eye gets better....

maybe ask for some afterbite that you can actually use everywhere... I have one from cutters but it´s not intended for the eye area... it works pretty good fir those itchs and swollen parts

I got a bee sting on the eye once and it itched like crazy, so I imagine a mosquito bite must be maddening. I'm sure you already know this but for the swelling it's ice, ice, baby.

Well Im back from the doctor...
They told me to ice it and get benadryl. At least I got a note excusing me from work yesterday and today
What a wonderful way to spend 3 hours
Thanks for the well wishes!
