Yep...that little black eye I'm sportin' is thanks to a mosquito bite in just the right place....I was reading in bed when one of hubby's 'pets' he let in the house began buzzing around my head and I kept trying to shoo it away from my temple...When I went to the bathroom later I thought there was a dirt smear by the outer edge of my right eye..Rubbing it , etc. didn't make it go away, but DID make it hurt. I put Neo-sporin on it and forgot about it...Next time I looked in the mirror blood had run under the skin and I had a 'black eye !' Chiropractor said theres a certain blood vessel right there and the mosquito must have nailed it....The blood thinner I take to keep my heart happy did the rest.... Hubby called upon his 'vast' store of home remedy knowledge and advised a grated potato poultice...[wrapped up grated raw Irish potato on a square of gauze. ] I held it on my eye till I go tired of it and I think it helped some...Hubby said it looked a lot better, but then he would, wouldn't he ? It was HIS home remedy ! It's no worse today and makes a darn good conversation piece...after all, how many people do you know who ever got a black eye from a mosquito ? Even Texas 'skeeters' don't usually pack that much of a punch !
