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.

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.
