I don't seem to know what to use for a "natural" antihistamine. I haven't tried Apis (homeopathic) yet for bug bites. Any other ideas?

vitamin C (if you have time.. we're not talking critical here)

your body uses up vit. C when you have an allergic reaction.. the more you react the more vit. C gets used up.. and the worse your reactions get.. you can sometimes reverse that by liberal use of vit. C.

I have been able to control hay fever with approx. 4000mg vit C a day.. I don't like going over that because I'm so often pregnant or nursing and taking my prenatals with some.. the limit for pregnancy is generally 5000mg.

cheap generic from safeway mainly.

I did just buy some of the ester-C.. it's supposed to absorb much better.. so I'm going to try it and see if I can end up using less.

But my midwife does the urine test strips and these show amounts of vit. C.

It shows me low on vit. C every single time.. even when I'm taking the extra vit. C. Which seems odd.. but I understand it that I'm not getting enough for my body to have extra to get rid of.
