bottom of my balls. Firstly, how do you cope not itching this in the office? Second, how do I eradicate the species as payback?

*assuming this post will just lead to hilarity for those not about to ride home with one hand in their pants scratching wildly!

It could have been worse, it could have been my balls.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

Your balls have a bottom?? Is that your front bottom?

That will still be 'pleasant' compared to a Cleg bite on the end of your wee man. That was painful and lasted over a week!

It's already itching. The word you're looking for is "scratching." HTH.

I carry a little zapper for insect bites and stings. It delivers a tiny electric shock to the affected area. Perhaps you could improvise?

Heat, believe it or not, kills the chemical that casues the itch and irritation. You can get a little plastic device like a mini battery powered car cigarette lighter that heats up about 1/4 circular area. Use that as soon as you get a bite and it won't bother you at all. A cloth with water as hit as you can stand it might be a reasonable substitute.

Your'e lucky in one respect.
It's only the females that bite, apparently. (I do not believe this to be true for one second)

I had a mozzie bite on my foreskin once when holidaying in France, must've been 12 or so. Didn't itch just hurt a lot. Had to spend many hours driving in a hot car pre aircon. Ended up discretely unzipping my fly and letting it cool down in the car.

That's true. I think even they only bite when they are reproducing. Something to do the needed the blood for healthy eggs. The males use the little straw thing to get nectar from flowers. Iirc the make version isn't long or strong enough to peirce skin.

You'd really find out who your friends are when it comers to sucking the venom out.

While correct, I wasn't thinking clearly at the time, I wanted to scratch an itch till it removed the skin from my body and stopped the itching!

Thanks Cougar 😉

Now, time for some more bite cream!

Having seen the intraweb I  know that there are people out there who would pay good money to be strung on the balls.

Sit back and think of the savings.

It doesn't help the OP but a few years ago on a lads' holiday we were sat around drinking beer outside the apartment when a mate suddenly jumped up and pulled his shorts down, screaming like he'd been shot. An ant had bitten him right on the tip off his knob LOL!
