Copper Penny Relief
Tammy in South Carolina, USA -I take vitamin B1 to prevent bites. It had worked very well for over a month....then I went to my garden and these little black nat like mosquito's were all over my legs. I went into the house 'itching like crazy'. I had heard if you tape a copper penny to a bite, it will stop the itching. I had 30 pennies taped to my legs for about 15 minute: the itching almost stopped immediately. The next day you could not see the bites. WOW~ I was so glad I had read it. I also tried it on a fire ant bite and had the same results.... no 'pimple head' on the bite the next day.
