Allergies are almost whimsical.  My 9 yr old got a few raised spots from 
penicillin shots and then REALLY broke out with hive-like swellings that 
oozed, from tick bites when the ticks had never bothered him before.  This 
spring he back to not reacting to tick bites.  Throughout the reaction 
phase and now that he is back to "normal", I used Roll~On by Farnam to 
discourage flies in his ears and on his belly.  No reaction at all to the 
Roll~On.

As a side note, he used to be a bit squirrelly about having anyone messing 
with his ears.  Now when he sees the little white bottle in my hand, he 
literally shoves his poll into my chest, "Here, Mom.  Right here.  MY 
ears."  Who needs words with body language like that?  <bg>
