Hi Carmen,
Hope u r feeling better, perhaps ur can put some "snake powder", those rectangular tin can ones... is you still feel the itch?
Luthadel,
My condolences to u & ur family. My hubby's grandmom pass away recently when i am 5wks pregnant, i had to put a red string (length of my height) throughout the funneral and another red string with a pair of chopstick & key when i am at the funneral, till the last day, then throw everything away. Also you can kneel...
