These mosquito bites are driving me CRAZY!!!! I think I'll rummage through the basement for some steel wool to scratch them with! Argggg! All the stores are completely out of ANYTHING that helps bites... anyone have home remedies? I am seriously going bat shit....

ice helps
scratching will only make it worse as it spreads theposion causing the bite to just get bigger adn itchier.
ice helps to numb it.
you can also try oatmeal although i think oatmeal only works for poison ivy.

sirsmiley21 08/13/2010

thats cooked oatmeal thats been cooled down by the way

wash them down with alcohol.........rubbing alcohol.........not beverage alcohol.

sirsmiley21 08/13/2010

When I get bit by bats I rub mosquito shit over my knees.

ZanyBeeper 08/13/2010

Margarita probably would work, but it would be awful sticky!!

DivineSilence 08/13/2010

How about I wash down my skin with frozen rubbing alcohol while I wash down a margarita or four. :)

the oatmeal thing x

So where do I find mosquito shit plukk?...... I could catch hundreds and keep them in a jar but would even that many produce enough shit? Do I have to feed them first before they shit because that's what caused the problem in the first place.....

sirsmiley21 08/13/2010

only female mosquitos bite us males just eat bugs.....just a semi random snapple cap fact for ya.....

You have to have the Plasma Laser Magnifyer ...then you'll only really need ONE mosquito.
Or you could miniaturise the bat then use moisturiser

DivineSilence 08/13/2010

Commence applying rubbing alcohol with frozen steel wool.... my son said it would take him a couple of days to build the magnifyer,,, but he is willing to shave the cat and lock it in a box with a bunch of mosquitos.....

Take aspirin!!!! Itching is like pain on a minor scale, so a pain reliever helps.
Hot water helps, too. As hot as you can stand it without it's being hot enough to do damage. It makes the nerve endings turn off for a while!!

i know this sounds crazy but i know what works great .i was at a restaurant and they were driving me crazy and i had vagainal creme in my bag for when you have oh you know and i put it on and the itch disappeared... crazy but works...

sirsmiley21 08/13/2010

that would probaly work because there is usualy hydrocortizone cream in vaginal cream?
also a lot of vaginal creams are made to stop feminin itching so it stands to reason that it would work for bug bites too great idea!!!
