Insect Bites
soothe itch and prevent infection
Columbia Antiseptic Powder soothes the itch
and cools the sting of insect bites. This helps to prevent
secondary infections
and
scarring so often caused by excessive scratching.
Itch or
pain is usually the first sign that you've been bitten. Wash
the affected area, dry it thoroughly and apply a bit of Columbia

an insect bite. However, if the pain does not subside or the
area becomes tender, swollen, and hot, or there is difficulty
swallowing or breathing consult your physician.
