I carry Benadrly with me at all times, I have a few very severe allergies and it can save my life since I stopped carrying my Epi-Pen a few years ago. It will stop a major allergic reaction enough to get me to the hospital or for an ambulance to arrive. If I do take Benadryl for regular reactions, I take it, then lay down for the rest of the day, because I will be out in less than 30 minutes adn sleeping for hours; non drowsey otions, I use Alvert for normal stuff. As for skin irrations, I suggest Sarina, it is the best stuff I have ever used, I get sun poisioning and it itches like a bitch, that stuff takes away the itch AND it helps to heal, its OTC [over the counter.. white bottle with blue print]. I foudn it a few years ago when I had a severe reaction on my skin and the doctor wanted to give me cortozone shots, the pharmicist suggested Sarina for a few days, in less than 24 hours I had improvement and NO cortozone shots.

Im probably repeating some stuff. The .025% ingredient is the same thing in most OTC sleeping aids, that is why so many fall asleep using it or get sleeping med hangover.

quote: ORIGINAL: FelinePersuasion Lotion would be fine if it was one bite. I had 5 and more poping up all over me. I didn't see or hear the moskito, I know it was one cause they're in the house, and on one of the bites t my hand I saw it, and bam suddenly 4 spots all at once on my body simultaniously all itchy all at once. Individual mozzy bites,I use 'After Bite',which is 3.5% ammonia,stops itching,but has side effect it smells a bit like strong urine.Mind if that is the case,I suppose urine could be used if stuck without any meds.

I try to avoid Benadryl for the reasons you have stated. I have found other products that are similar, without the diphenhydramine in it.

The benadryl is not nearly as fast-acting as the epinephrine. Last time I was with someone who had a severe allergic reaction, opting for benadryl over epinephrine would have left her dead. Incidentally, she wasn't carrying her Epi-Pen either, but I usually carry one, even though I don't have any allergies myself.

Incidentally, she wasn't carrying her Epi-Pen either, but I usually carry one, even though I don't have any allergies myself. I stopped carrying it when my son was younger [then started when I was on the coast a lot], it was always in my purse or his diaper bag, once he got big enough to get into things, I took it out. I carried it in my purse for a long time, then I stopped going to the ocean and my close friends are VERY aware of my worst allergies [shell fish and seafood], so we are cautious when we go out to eat; plus, the team I dive with, they watch out for me and the guys on the boat have Epi-Pens just in case. I know I need to carry my Epi-Pen, its just kinda a pain. I would have to always carry a larger purse with me. Plus, with the government buildings I go into on a regular basis, I get the 3rd degree from the security guards. Since its summer time, I will have to go back and get another Rx for it, since I will be on the coast this summer a few times. Also, I take Benadryl, before I may be exposed, with food the sleepy effects are not as bad, so I get the blocker and not the drowsyness, most of the time.
