Make sure it's clean, don't forget that Gnat could have bitten countless other people first then get an anti-itch cream from your local chemist.

Re: Treatment for bites
Take an antihistemine (such as you would normally take for hay fever).

Re: Treatment for bites
so it's not just me then! I have about 5 and over the last few nights they have developed! but none elsewhere - so I wondered if it was fleas and re-de-fleaed the cat and dog and sprayed the bed with anti flea stuff.
why is it just my left foot that's being attacked?

Re: Treatment for bites
calomile (sp) location is very good, or calomile (sp again  ) and witch hazel cream.

Have you got a double bed?
If so, which side of the bed do you sleep on?
Which side of the bed is the nearest window on?

Re: Treatment for bites

Re: Treatment for bites
Didn't have any thoughts as to a solution, just a bit of a stalker that's all
Sorry, just thought it might have something to do with where your bed was in relation to the window.
You don't sleep with that foot hanging out of the bed or anything do you?

Re: Treatment for bites
I have no idea. If I wake up and am able to remember my name it's a bonus so knowing where my foot is during the night is a difficult one.

I can tell you what it's doing, it's hosting an all night buffet for gnats by the sound of it
