lavender lotion or lavender sunscreen=no more bites

lisa in houston,tx - best
I buy lavender scented sunscreen from alii kula lavender farm in Maui, Hawaii. I order it online. 8 of us put this on for 4th of July and no one got bit. I usually get bit all the time. Have tried off, cutter, skinsosoft, etc, but the lavender lotions & sunscreens work great, & smell nice,too.

I also know a few people who have planted lavender in their yard. It is a natural repellent.

If you do get a bite, slice a cherry tomato and hold on the bite. Stops the itching. This works for heat rash, poison ivy, shingles, you name it.

WHITE VINEGAR

plasticapple in plastic apple land - best
If you put white vinegar on a mozzie bite it really helps to cure it, I use it frequently and it always works! Just put some vinegar on a tissue or cotton bud and apply it to the bite, try it!

rub no scratch

nothing in VIC - best
Well I read everything and I tried them all and they didn't work so tried something else. I first put a cream on called Eurax cream for itches and I used snooze cream. I put it on all of my mosquito bite and then I waited for 3 minutes. Then I put some ice on and in 5 minutes hand sanitizer. Then I peeled a banana and used the skin. then I waited for half an hour and I was cured.

Bye, bye, bite!

Lily in Seattle - good
Wash the bite with lots of clear, cold water. Peel a banana and use the inside of the peel to rub the affected area. Apply papaw cream and keep your hand in a plastic bag to stop getting dust and things on your mosquito bite, which would make the itch worse.

Australian Bush Remedy - Bracken Fern

Bec in Tasmania, Australia - best
I don't know if you have Bracken Ferns in the US, but in Australia, when I was a little kid, I'd always manage to get bitten by Bull-ants or Jack Jumpers which are bloody painful and sting like hell. My parents would always use Bracken Ferns to instantly get rid or the pain and itch. Pull out a green Bracken Fern...which grow everywhere like weeds in the Australian bush, snap the root of the fern until the sticky white milky stuff comes out and rub it on the bite. It will stop the sting or itch instantly. This also works on Mozzie bites. No need to carry any potions or lotions with you, its provided free from natures larder.

Fresh garlic

Bud in Winchester, CA - good
Cut a piece of fresh garlic rub the cut end on the bite. It will provide almost instant relief from the itch and the swelling will diminish also. People who eat fresh garlic just about never get bit by mosquitos, your body becomes a natural repellant.
