***Home treatment for Mosquito bites:
Use household items
*Rub a bar of soap over the itch. I just tried this (Ivory soap) and the
relief was near instant. I used a dry bar of soap directly on the skin, but
I also have notes that you can spritz bite with water and then run bar of
soap over area–or use a wet bar of soap.
*Place a piece of scotch tape on the bite; or dab rubbing alcohol or ammonia
on the area first then stick on a piece of tape.
*Hot water: Take a hot shower, or a hot bath, or apply a hot compress. As
hot as you can stand it without burning you.
*Ice cube, ice pack or very cold water
Dabbers
(The quicker you can apply one of the following remedies, the faster the
relief. These are topical suggestions, apply directly to the area.
*Nail Polish
*Strong tea mixed with rubbing alcohol
*Toothpaste (works for me)
*Mouthwash
*Vinegar (apply directly to bite or take a hot bath with 2 cups of vinegar
in the water)
*Honey
*Underarm deodorant (solid or roll-on) – apply directly to skin
*Rubbing Alcohol
*Ammonia
*Bleach
*Tea: Use a hot tea bag or a cotton ball soaked in hot tea to dab on skin
*Paste Applications: Mix these fresh then apply to bite as soon as possible.
The consistency should be nice and thick so it won't run, yet will still
stay in place on the affected area. You could also spritz bite with water
then apply grains/powders directly (generously) and rub them in.
*Baking Soda & Water (works for me)
*Meat Tenderizer & Water
*Salt & Water (works for me)
*Epsom Salt & Water (could also do this as a foot soak if it's the
ankle/foot area affected)
*Tums Tablets: crush and add a few drops of water
*Aspirin: crush then add a few drops of water
*Aspirin – crush then apply a few drops of rubbing alcohol
*Commercial Product Lotions, Creams & Applications: Apply directly to
mosquito bite
*Calamine Lotion
*Benadryl Cream
*Orajel
*Anbesol
*Caladryl
*Vicks VapoRub (works for me)
*Preparation H (works for me)
*Lucas Papaw Ointment
*Tiger Balm
*Bag Balm
*Gold Bond Medicated Cream (or the Gold Bond Medicated Powder)
*Mylanta (heartburn relief product)
*After Bite try essential oils, Apply full strength directly to skin. Edit:
There are concerns about using essential oils on children and pre-teens,
especially repeated use.
*Tea Tree Oil
*Lavender Oil
*Witch Hazel (astringent)
*Cedar Oil
*Leaf Applications: Crush the fresh leaves roughly then apply to bite
l
*Plantains (Plantago)
*Fruity Applications: Use fresh fruit & apply directly to skin
*Lemon Juice
*Lemon Slice
*Lime Juice
*Lime Slice
*Banana Peel (rub inside of peel on bite)
If there is another remedy that you like better than any of these, feel free
to post it. I'm not the only one who will benefit from it.
Notes: If a remedy doesn't provide fast relief, don't despair. Give it
another try, sometimes it will take 2 or 3 applications before it kicks in.
The itch is a reaction from the saliva of the mosquito that it injects into
you as it feasts on your blood. There are several dozen different species of
mosquitoes and you may react to some specis bites more than others. If
large swelling occurs (like welts), contact a doctor or pharmacist for
suggestions
