this might sound weird but its true, if you take your fingernail and make an X in the middle of the bug bite it wont itch for like five minutes

thats the only thing that i can think of or ice but then it will itch alot after you take it off

please rate me<3

Mix vinegar, baking soda, and sugar together.

That should help. That will also keep them off of you next time you go outside.

This is what I do:

If you have rubbing alcohol, use that. If you have something that is just alcohol (ie, not a mixed drink) that is a really high proof, that might work as well. Put it on them, and it's ok if they sting - that's good.

I've never compared this to any other methods, but I hope it'll help you. Bug bites suck.

You could soak in an Aveeno bath. Aveeno is an oatmeal-based product, and you just pour it into the tub like bubble bath and soak in it. My children found it very soothing when they had chicken pox.

you can put scotch tape or fingernail polish on them...but the spray on benedryl in the stores really works best.

You could use your finger nail to make an 'x' on your bug bites.
Or. . .
You can acctually use your own spit. ew, i know. but if you spit on your hand a little and rub it into the bug bites, they don't itch anymore.

good luck:)

Tooth paste. It sounds crazy, but it really works. It dries out the bug bite which prevents the itching. Good luck!
