zombie or no
you can apply vinegar and smell like a pickle
or
peppermint oil and smell like candy
okay, so this exact evilness hit me last night. i searched the internet, but could barely sit long enough to read any of the “cures” without screaming in pain or running back into the shower.
Vinegar did nothing, aloe did nothing, cold showers made it better until I dried and then worse again. I checked just now and apparently hot showers are better than cold ones, but I’m scared to try unless it comes back. Also wearing a shirt helps.
I have no idea where to get peppermint oil at half past midnight, but I managed to find a shop with piriteze max strength (hay-fever stuff). One of those and a big glass of scotch made it go away almost completely, and I’ve just slept for 8 hours. (I know you aren’t supposed to drink excessively with medication, but I’ve done it before with no ill effect, and i needed to be drowsy so I could sleep.
This morning I am a little prickly, but not so bad. I’ve heard that it only lasts 10 hours, so, i hope the worst of it is over.
