Re: what do to about bug bites that itch badly

[Guest guest]

Apple Cider Vinegar can help stop the itching. We also use Apis and Ledium

homeopathics.

's Homeopathic makes a " Sting " Gel for bug bites that works really

well for one of my children.

what do to about bug bites that itch badly

Friends,

I received a large number of bug bites at a friend's house. They itch

very badly. Any recommendations, natural treatments to help itching,

etc.

Thanks!

Raw apple cider vinegar (applied topically) helped me with the itch of

chigger bites. I've heard hot water compresses will, also, help with

itching. There's always oatmeal paste or calamine lotion.

We put tea tree oil on bites topically, and take sodium ascorbate for the

histamine reaction. Will try ACV next time!

you can make a homemade calamine lotion out of green clay and lavendar

essential oil. it works great for the itch and draws out the poisons

from the bite site.

Dad's " on the farm " remedy was to put cow dung on them, said it would

stop the pain of bee stings too. I was too squeamish to try it and he

suggested mud, which does help quite a bit with bee stings. I've never

tried it on itchy bites, but will next time it happens.

Someone (here?) said zapping it with low voltage electricity (like from

a battery) will help as well, instantly. For my son who really reacts

to mosquitoes, we use the benadryl bite stick to apply it topically.

That thing works too, tho I hate to use benadryl; still it keeps them

from keeping us up all night when the histamine makes him nauseous and

restless. I read the pertussis vaccine can cause histamine

sensitivity; evidently they wanted it to. I guess in my son it worked

too well.

I was just reading some antique cookbooks and a number of them recommended

placing raw onion on the bites.

Easily the best response I've seen by a bug bite is to epsom salt

cream/lotion/salve.

You can buy it online (as mag sulfite) from maybe Kirkman's, or make it

yourself.

I keep a container of bentonite clay mixed up to slap on bug bites. I slap it

immediately on a fire ant bite and never had the bite pus up.

A few years ago, I had some serious poison ivy and to prevent me from scratching

at night, I covered it with clay. If I did scratch, I was scratching off the

clay. It healed SO much FASTER because the clay sucks the toxins out.
