The insideous nature of parasites (mosquitos, bed bugs, wood ticks) is that they have a natural anesthetic that works on humans. So you feel nothing when they poke you, and thus you unwittingly let them carry out their attack against you.
Fuck that. Gimme some pain please. I would like to take a pill before sleeping that, for ~6 hours, will neutralise the anesthetics of bedbugs. That way I can keep an empty vial to incarcerate the vile motherfuckers that leech a blood meal out of me the moment they attack.
Before hiking in the woods, I want a pill that will neutralise tick and mosquito anesthetics for ~2—4 hours. If I can be fussy, I might still want to be able to take Ibuprofin to reduce muscle pain, ideally to bring the pain of being jabbed more to the foreground.
My search for anti-anesthetics came up mostly empty. I found this:

But that’s way to technical for me to make any sense of it.
Dinoprostone is essentially reverse tylenol, in that it is essentially just prostaglandin e2, and the cox 2 mediated synthesis of prostaglandin is the reaction tylenol stops (Cox 2 is used for multiple forms of prostaglandin synthesis, but e2 is pretty prominent in the pain reaction). I don’t know how effective it would be as a torture drug, I very much hope the answer is “Not very” given what it’s used for. You wrote this 2 months ago, I am searching for posts about tylenol because I’m mad at my doctor.
