How to get rid of Sand Flea Bites

Both of my daughters went swimming this weekend at a campground that we have been attending every summer for over 6 years...they both have what appears to be sand flea bites.  How do you get rid of these.  One of my daughters looks like she has about 200 or more on her scalp.

I am sorry you did not look carefully enough. You should look for the link that explains that sand flea bites are treated as mosquito bites. I add the specific quote below:

Treatment procedures and prevention steps for a sand flea bite are similar to those of mosquitoes. If more severe reactions are encountered or if there are signs of Leishmaniasis, then the sand flea bite requires professional medical treatment. As of 2006, there is no vaccine to combat Leishmaniasis caused by a sand flea bite.

Please return to the site and click on the linl in the above quoted paragraph.

Make mosquito bites stop itching

08-01-2009, 07:59 PM What are some good ways to relieve the itchiness of mosquito bites? I was in the Scouts since mosquito bites were inevitable whenever the repellent couldn't be reapplied soon to it and may want to see a doctor about medicines. Maybe they have epipens for mosquito bites. 08-02-2009, 09
