Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 I don't know about a fly bite but I put raw honey on a chigger bite and then put some on a Band-Aid and covered the bite with it and that is the first chigger bite that I ever had that completely left within 2 weeks and never bothered me again it did not leave a mark as they most times do. - " arthur luckower " <aluckower Thursday, December 19, 2002 8:16 AM Re: bugbite > urine has worked well for me with any type of skin problem. bug bites, fungus, posion ivy > - > Rita STAFFORD-BONES > Gettingwell > Friday, December 20, 2002 2:51 AM > Re: bugbite > > > > HI!

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 thanks to all for the bugbite remedies! All good suggestions, especially urine and raw honey, which i had not thought of.
