Quick Fixes for Mosquito Bites

By Cait Johnson, Assistant Producer, Care2 Healthy Living Newsletters – http://www.care2.com/

Sometimes, despite our best intentions, the little buzzers manage to sneak a snack–on us! The next time you or your little ones get an itchy bug bite, try these quick and simple remedies. They are all kid-friendly and very effective, as well as being completely safe and natural.

My favorite uses an ingredient you probably have sitting in a bowl on your kitchen countertop.
Use banana peel to take the itch out of mosquito bites. Just rub the pulpy inside surface of the peel on the bite.

• Rub the bite with Soap.
• Apply an ice pack to the bite.
• Mix baking soda with enough water to make a paste and apply to the bite.
• Apply Lavender and Tea Tree oils with a swab.
• Rub a piece of freshly-cut onion on the bite.
• A dab of toothpaste is soothing, too.
