I know this is dismal news for my fellow mosquito magnets, but don’t despair! Because I have, over the years, discovered a few remedies that really do help soothe the sting. But you probably won’t find any of them at the pharmacy … Personally, I’ve had more luck at the grocery store. Some of these may sound weird, but trust me — you won’t care how weird they are when that nasty welt on your leg finally stops itching!
- Place cold cucumber skins on bites to soothe the burn
- Honey is a natural antibiotic — apply topically to bites (but don’t leave it on and go outside, unless you want a swarm of bees after you!)
- Use a cotton ball to apply tea tree oil every 2 to 3 hours (my personal favorite! Kind of stinky, but so effective).
- Cut a knob of garlic in half and rub it on the bite area (again, stinky — but so effective for getting rid of the itch!)
- Lime juice or lemon juice are better than nothing, especially if you’re at a picnic or barbecue and those are all you have handy Have you found anything that helps to stop the itch of insect bites? Image via Colonel Wildturkey/Flickr
