OT - Mosquito Bite Remedies

it's that time of year again! i got these off of a website.

---------------------------------

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 bite 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 remedies below, the
faster the relief. These are topical suggestions, apply directly to
the bite 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 bite area
Rubbing Alcohol
Ammonia
Bleach
Tea: Use a hot tea bag or a cotton ball soaked in hot tea to dab on
bite area
Pastes: 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
bite area.

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
Essential Oils: Apply full strength directly to bite area. 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
area

Basil
Plantains (Plantago)
Fruity Applications: Use fresh fruit & apply directly to bite

Lemon Juice
Lemon Slice
Lime Juice
Lime Slice
Banana Peel (rub inside of peel on bite)
Whew! Big List! If I’ve missed your favorite remedy for mosquito
bites, please add them below.

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 from mosquito bites comes 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
species bites more than others.

If large swelling occurs (like welts), contact a doctor or pharmacist
for suggestions (especially if it’s a child with a strong reaction).
It could be an allergy to the bite. It’s important to watch the throat
for swelling and get treatment asap.

Thx. Giggz!! Makes me itch just thinkin' 'bout them skeeters! ;oP

Sweet of you to ask.
I suppose I am like everyone else who deals with this. It's a
rollercoaster, isn't it?

The 4th we had plans, but it was a bit scary. I couldn't rid myself
of the thoughts of a possible attack, so the fireworks were
bittersweet.

Future plans of a baseball game and a mini-break have me very excited
and happy, but I know they will be tainted when things draw closer.

I am used to it. Trying to tamp down my excitement so I don't swing
in the wrong direction.

Lately, the hard part has been having the kids home for summer break.
A lot of times I worry over freaking out in front of them. They don't
need to see me a mess. So it ends up being challenging sometimes.

But then see?, there *are* the good times too.

Rollercoaster.

And how are things for you?

no doubt :-(

yes, and it's a shame.

and i know my daughter witnessed my freakouts when she was young...and
i wonder what i've done to her :-(

i can't remember those very well :-\ cherish them, OK?

and tilt-a-whirl!


>And how are things for you?

>Vickie

probably worse than i can ever remember. i keep asking people to
shoot me, but they won't. i'm losing faith. i don't know what to do
any more.

on top of that, i'm tired of fake people that pretend to be my friend
when times get hard. have you experienced that yet? oh there are lots
of 'em around! beware!

sorry you asked how i was? :-)

isn't there just one pill that could end it all real quickly?

i would send you good vibes, but i can't find any.

hugs,
giggz (who cares, but can't change it) :`-(

That's the worst. The day it turns to the ugly side of the coin. The
excitement takes a backseat and anxiety rears its head. Just one of those
things that seem so dang unfair in life.

I would like to think she gained the knowledge that you are only human. And
that now that she understands, she thinks even more highly of you, that
through it all you were still a good mom to her.

Oh, I am so sorry. How about a short and sweet mantra?
It will pass....it will pass....it will pass...

Oh my yes, I have seen my share of asswipes in my 39 years.

Never. I think you are the only one here who still or has ever listened
when I unload. And I appreciate it more than you know. So, if it is your
turn, go for it.

I will pretend you mean for anxiety. :-)
Not that I know of, sweets.
A women in another NG posted an interesting article about Brain Fake. I
will try to find the link and post it here.
The article gave me hope that biologists are still at it and trying to find
the best treatments for these disorders.

Time for me to cowgirl up then. :-) Sending you all the good vibes I can.
