Maybe its just me that gets affected, my wife seem to be affected similarly, whe's had a couple minor surgeries and the anastesia (hate trying from work with no spell checker) really knocks her out. My guess is because we've never had any kind of alcohol, tobacco, or any of the less than legal substances in our bodies we don't have any tolerance to any of those kind of chemicles.
Ah, I knew all my beer drinking training would pay off!

Not sure what the correct answer is here. I guess each person would have to know what his/her reaction to Benadryl type medications is and then compare that to the severity of the reaction to the insect bites.

I've experienced a bit of drowsiness before with Benadryl, but nothing significant.
