Remedy for Mosquito Bite

You will probably have so many people having so many remedies for mosquito bites, and the question is: who do you trust? Well, your answer would probably be, “All of them”.

  • You can dab a little lavender oil on the bite. This will reduce the swelling and also stop the itchiness. The lavender oil is available in a roll-on bottle and is non-greasy and very clean.
  • Another remedy would be by applying a wrapped ice cube once the itching starts.
  • An old folk’s remedy would be by eating a slice of marmite toast every morning. Mosquitoes seem to dislike the taste of it.
  • Use a cotton ball soaked in vinegar on the mosquito bite. The smell is very unpleasant, but it stops that itching.
  • Another old folk’s remedy is the copper penny. Tape a copper penny to the bite and it is said that the itching stops almost immediately and tomorrow the bite will be gone. What makes this remedy believable is the fact that 59 people agree.
  • White vinegar applied to the mosquito bite and rubbed over with a banana peel stops itching.
  • Baking soda mixed with water to a paste and applied to mosquito bites work great to stop the itchiness.
