I dislike the smell of liniment. My grandmother Brown, bless her, used it quite a bit when they lived with us. I think it was for her rheumatism. I'm not sure if that is aching muscles or joints. Would it be called arthritis today?
Wellll, I now smell like my granny.Thursday morning I woke up with bite at the base of my throat.
Mosquito? Spider? At least it's not a tick! And man, does it itch. I tried Neosporine because it was the first thing I saw in the medicine cabinet. No good. Lee mentioned Lamisil. Tried it. Some relief but not for long.
Then he suggested the smelly stuff he used to put on his feet that smells like my grandmother's liniment: ABSORBINE JR. Yuck! It burned like fire and I thought, "This was a big mistake." Then the fired calmed down and although I can now walk into and clear a room, the itch is under control.

It is my "go to" for bug bites. It doesn't sting unless you have scratched the bite then it is a bit firey! We have skeeters now, so I have it at the ready for after my bath...I suppose I smell like a granny too! :)
