Hi,
I have used both Tiger Balm and Ultra Balm, and both are very good for stopping itches and muscles ache. They also give a nice warrm sensation. Excellent for aches after a hard physical worksout such as soccer or long distance running. Smells good too – but I know some people who are not used to it may not like the smell, but I love the aroma. Don’t worry about the ingredients. They are normal analgesic substances, with some Chinese herbs mixed in to promote blood circulation.

wow I have never thought of using tier balm for itchiness, we used to use it all the time as kids for sore muscles and aches and pains. I loved having it on the back of my neck it was like a deep massage, although it smelt icky. I love tiger balm its so relaxing.

For us there’s no limits, only our internet speed.

Bits are frustrating when I was young. Until now I’ve received many but they pass off as rash. My body is immune to mosquito bites in a very strange way, but then it converts it to rash and boy-oh-boy does it itch!

Hm… I don’t think I have a limit on my connection but it’s pretty slow anyway. 128mps I think.

And about the bites, you have not been bitten til you get bitten 31 times and mostly on the face!!

Man, I’m on a 1GB cap. How do you think I feel? I manage to go through that in like, a week or a week and a half, and then I’m on dialup speed. :S

Can’t afford anything more than that though, so I just learn to live with it.

That’s pretty ridiculous about having a bandwidth limit on your cable. I’d go nuts if that was how my ISP was!

To Tara: You heard right, a limit! Before the current 7GB/month transfer cap plan my family’s on, we were only an “unlimited” plan which caps at 20GB anyway. I’m so incredibly envious about Korean internet, a Korean friend of mine talks about how cheaper apartments and stuff would have T1 connections running unlimitedly. *ENVY!* If a limit is a bizarre concept for you, imagine having to survive on 28.8kbps connection speed!

O_O EXCUSE ME? A LIMIT?!?!!?! On… Internet usage? *does the Home Alone hands on cheek thing* You know a bandwidth limit on internet usage is … is … a bizarre concept for me? I always think that other countries are like Korea where the broadband is cheap and powerful…but I keep forgetting about that. X_X;; Another reason why I’ll stay in Korea.

Heeeey… now that you mention it, that tiger does look a bit emo. Thankfully the one I have has English (it tells me it relieves headache, aches, pains and itchy bites… so it must be true! :P), Chinese, Indian, Arabic and I think Korean. Guess they’re going international.

If I could be bothered to go to a chemist I’ll look out for itch-eze (I didn’t know there were actual creams for itches) and maybe a jar of calamine lotion. That stuff was heaven for my chicken pox years ago.

GOOD one Belinda’s brother… Pft. Hahaha, I don’t even know our limits; I don’t download much though so I’m guessing we’ll be fine!

Tiger Balm makes me feel ill. The smell is so strong and the thought of wiping something on my skin that comes out of a little bottle with no English on it and a picture of a crying tiger just doesn’t feel right.

Try Itch-Eze. I know it sounds crap and the bright yellow tube looks like it’s been made by kids, but it works on bites for me!
