Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photo: Retailer When I was 5 years old, I came down with a nasty case of chicken pox. My memories of the experience are hazy, but I distinctly remember using a marker to play a game of connect the dots on my torso, creating constellations out of the angry red spots on my chest and stomach.
I had mosquito bites everywhere: legs, arms, back, front. I counted 52 in total. I slathered myself in Benadryl, but the relief was all too temporary. As the unbearable itch of one bite would subside, five more bites would flare up. All I could do was lie paralyzed in a starfish position, terrified that the slightest movement or friction would restart the torture.
I immediately picked some up from a Chinatown pharmacy, and where the Benadryl failed, the feng you jing succeeded with flying colors. Though I felt a slight sting upon initial application, its calming effects immediately took hold, and hours went by where I’d nearly forget about my agonized state. I used it about three times a day until I no longer felt like jumping out of my skin.
Waft feng you jing under the nose of most any Chinese person and they’ll instantly be transported back to summer vacations and camping trips, where it was as much of a packing-list essential as Band-Aids and toothpaste. .
