Hello
I would like to request information about how to prevent mosquito stings: I have a 4 year old daughter that is “devoured” by these pesky mosquitoes and tiger mosquitoes. I use a repellent spray, “Ledum complex” but I would like to know what I can give orally to my daughter in the form of prevention. On the website you discuss a dose tube of Ledum at 200 CH. Can I give it to my daughter as well? Is there something that I can give her to stop her from scratching herself too much after she has been stung?
Thanks.
Dear Reader,
Ledum palustre 200 CH can also be used for a 4 year old child: the use of 3 dose tubes during the summer months (one per month) is quite useful for reducing the annoying effects of mosquito stings.
In addition to the above, you can apply Calendula cream to reduce the itching sensation.
Finally, we'd also like to make a comment on nutrition. The reduction of the amount of yeasts that are eaten during the week reduces the strong reaction to the stings. In particular, set aside two days per week in which the intake of yeasts is controlled (for example Tuesday and Friday). This will make you less “appetizing” to the mosquitoes.
As a matter of fact, it seems that these insects are attracted to the scent and taste of some substances that are derived from fermentation, while other writers believe that regulating ones diet helps avoid the strong reaction to the sting that happens anyway, but is almost unnoticeable.
In our clinical experience, we've learned to associate frequent insect stings with a probable food hypersensitivity to all leavened products.
When one of our patients complains about continuous mosquito stings, we immediately consider the possibility of his being intolerant to yeasts. By applying a correct rotational diet and identifying an appropriate hypo-sensitizing vaccine for that person by way of a DRIA test, we can often bring the problem back to normal.
Cordially,
