Mosquito bite remedy
Imagine you are having a wonderful vacation with family and friends and it is suddenly ruined by a swarm of mosquitoes. You may be on a camping trip and looking for a mosquito bite remedy, and the worst thing in the world is to be out of luck and suffering red itchy bites. Usually you won�t need a mosquito bite remedy until 24 hours after the initial bites. Unfortunately, you may not even be aware that you are being bitten until it is too late!
The best mosquito bite remedy is prevention. When you are out in the woods hiking or walking, be sure to cover your body with plenty of insect repellent that contains DEET. DEET acts as a shield to keep mosquitoes from smelling your human scents. You might also want to wear long pants and sleeves, and if the mosquitoes are really bad, a hat with mosquito netting to cover your face.
The best salves to use as a mosquito bite remedy are creams containing hydrocortisone or calamine lotion. You may also want to apply cold compresses to ease the heat from your bites, and soak in Epsom salts to get rid of the toxic bacteria that mosquitoes can leave behind. Bites will usually stop itching within a few days, but it is important that you dont scratch them too much, which can cause scarring or further infections.
