Histamine Digest Relieves Mosquito Bites

By July 7, 2020January 23rd, 2024No Comments

Mosquitos love me. If you want to avoid getting bitten by a mosquito, just sit next to me at a barbecue:)

Recently I made the discovery that Histamine Digest, a key histamine clearing enzyme (Diamine Oxidase), helps clear the itching and resolves the puffy bumps from my mosquito bites much more quickly.

After being bitten by a bunch of mosquitos, I started to itch and the bites swelled. I was extremely itchy and uncomfortable so after a day or so after being bitten by mosquitos I decided to see if taking Histamine Digest (DAO enzyme) would help. By the next day, my reaction to the mosquito bites had resolved to the point of my no longer thinking about them.

I’ve repeated this “experiment” several times and gotten the same results. On one occasion I got so many bites that I took a second Histamine Digest.

I work with many patients with an overactive histamine response. Several of them have also used Histamine Digest which has helped resolve their bug bites more quickly too.

It’s great to make this new discovery. But hopefully I won’t get poison ivy….I really don’t want to do another experiment.
