Here are just a few examples of how you can prevent and treat mosquito bites this summer:
- Rub a fabric softener sheet on your clothing to repel mosquitoes. Great for working outside or when on a camping trip.
- If you've already been bitten, try breaking open an aspirin and rubbing it on
the bite to reduce the itch.

Shea butter helps. It's an all-purpose natural cream that soothes the skin. Rub it on your bite or sting and BAM- no itch.
ReplyDeleteYou can also put a coin on your bite. This will cool it and temporarily relieve the itch.
Lastly, well, this one is unexpected... put toothpaste on your bite. But don't take the toothpaste off! In a matter of seconds your bite will start itching again.
