Well, not "everything".

If fact, probably less that 1/10 of 1% of me itches.

That's a pretty small amount.

1. Take a shower.
Take a shower, wash your hair, wash your clothes to get the pollen/allergens out.

I do a lot of gardening and I take a shower and wash my hair every night, without fail, before I go to bed, so I won't have a runny nose.

And after the shower, if the parts still itch, slap some benadryl cream or lanacane on them.

Free advice from another gardener. :D

2. I actually did take a shower...
But my itching is due to bites...I don't think that I've ever had a year where I've been bitten so much.

Also, my house got flooded today from a broken faucet, and God knows what was falling on me as the water dripped on me through my basement ceiling.

Happy gardening!

:hi:

3. Put a little white vinegar
on the bites. You'll smell good enough to eat.
