It's truly amazing what the brain will latch onto, either positive or negative, and how those seemingly insignificant comments have the power to shape one's life.

I shall definitely be trying out the addition of Betadine surical scrub to my flyspray to try to alleviate some of the fly bite itching. Then I scrolled down to read your article on Reinsmanship. I just loved your photo critique of the cones reinsmanship class! Having just starting out with my 5 year old Morgan at CDE Training level I have lots to learn and your blog posting presented a lovely tutorial.

Betadine Solution might also work, but, clearly, I'm no chemist!]<br /><br />I have long held that a fungus forms at the insect bite site causing the itching. The Microbicidal Cleanser seems to alleviate this and help protect against further fungal growth at the original site. It also seems to help reduce the incidence of fungus at new bite sites. Although, you do have to keep up with the regimen.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />Michellemichelleblacklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022820559109347058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111918028374686575.post-5316499412002205572011-07-20T13:34:03.666-05:002011-07-20T13:34:03.666-05:00I'd be interested in the amounts as well.
