[QUOTE="BJ Bates, post: 140641, member: 4282"] HaHaHa the lovely leeches bring back some horrible memories to say the least, I was using a 5" north of cairns and thought I'd had all my bases covered by the extra socks, clothing etc!! not to be, for those little buggers burrowed through two pairs of work socks and their body filled up with blood between the socks, wasn't pleasant to say the least. I was pottering about again last year nth of Mareeba and come across a lady who swears by "roll on deodorant" for all bite and stings (not sure of any particular brand), especially wasp stings, this may be worth trying for you guys who are amongst the little buggers more than most, it would be worth knowing what the results would be using this remedy, even if it only stops the itching would be fantastic.
