Ok I got some tips on how to deal with mosquito bites and figured I would share.

Make a paste of water and baking soda...rub on bites. Also putting scotch tape on the bites is supposed to make them stop itching as well.

'skin so soft' lotion (from I think it is Avon) works well too

mix together some water and some meat tenderizer. Make paste of the stuff, applied it to the bite, and within a very short time the swelling will be gone.

Traumed or Traumeel. (It's been sold under both names.) For the bug bite and bruise purposes, it's best to have the cream formula that they sell in the tube. It is absolutely amazing at reducing swelling of all kinds.

Applying calamine lotion or a 1% hydrocortisone cream to the area of the bite a few times a day.

taking a tablet of vitamin b-1 2x daily to repel mosquito's

using rubbing alcohol

mint toothpaste or lemon juice on the bite will reduce itching.

take garlic capsules, apparently they hate the odour secreted though your pores

If bitten then put vinegar in a cloth and lay on the bite it is safe and stops the sting and swelling...


...My thought it may be time to get a mosquito net for over the bed lol.
