Definitely tea tree oil. You can buy it in "ointment" tubes or dilute the pure oil. You can also buy a tea tree oil spray that (for me) works very well for taking both the sting and itch out of mosquito bites in particular. I used the ointment for the aftermath of Queensland midges (sandflies) wanted to eat me for dinner. Stoped the wounds from becoming too infected. I also used medical grade manuka honey on the bites and there's almost no sign of the bites/scaring left. Both are readily available in Australia.

Hi Ian, Thank you very much for replying to my question! I just inspected the plant all over again and there were no snails, and even last night I took a look at the plant, everything seems to be fine. Also, there are no damages on the leaves or stems at all. My fuchsia plants are placed at the windowsill as I do not have a balcony or a garden, so I do not know how the snails could have gotten in, if there was any lurking around. I also have other plants beside the fuchsia plants and none of them have been affected. Are there any other possibilities that can explain this problem? Because only the buds are attacked, open or unopen ones. I had luck with a few buds on the Euro Princess that bloomed but some petals were discolored and the bloom looks a bit distorted and they simply dried up after 1-2 days and fall off. Could it be overwatering? underwatering? not feeding enough? Wrong place? Too high temperature? Do you think cutting down all the blooms away and making the plant shorter overall can help it become stronger and perhaps overcome this problem? Thank you very much!!

iv been under attack for 19 months and it turns out... im about 90% sure its bird and rat mites. I didnt think so for a long time because no matter where I go they swarm and bite. I knew we had a rat infestation but as i said.. I would get swarmed and bitten in the grocery store or really just anywhere Id go. But it now makes sense. My attacks started around the time the lockdown was ending and Rats became a huge problem all over the city. Im the only person who can feel the bites and swarms btw and that also had me extremely confused. But its as simple as some people feel them and most others do not. Not one product helped relieve the pain or reduce the bites and I really tried just about everything. Turns out undiluted rubbing alcohol will kill them right away so give it a try when they are biting and on ur body. it will not get rid of them, and if ur having the same issue as I am, then the worst parts of the attacks like being suffocated or insects going into my eyes , ears,, and every single other hole in my body. thats still an issue. But it does help with the extreme biting on my skin. so check around for rats. If thats the issue... look it up online and you will find info on how to treat it. try typing " tropical rat mites" basically you MUST remove the rats completely. I hope this helps someone because this is by far the worst thing that i feel could ever happen to anyone physically. and anyone that doesn't feel what we are feeling has absolutely no idea whatsoever the pain and suffering we are going through.

Iris, I asked about your general location for a reason, wondering if you live in fire ant territory. Your reaction and the pimple-like pustule are symptoms of fire ant stings. Fire ant stings are painful, from the initial stabbing for several hours after. The itching can be awful. I don't react like that anymore, but vividly recall my first experiences, when my leg swelled up like crazy, the sting site became red and hot. I developed a slight fever for a day, as I recall. Shortly after that first encounter, I was told about the meat tenderizer treatment and have never been troubled since. I use it for mosquito bites, too.
