Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 The best home remedy is a paste of baking soda and water. You might also tell the person to take a hot shower. The hot water draws out the histamine. -Wes Ogilvie -Austin, Texas In a message dated 9/17/2008 8:41:54 P.M.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I learned over the weekend that breaking open ammonia capsules and applying those to ant bites will take away the sting. Can't personally attest to it.but the remedy sounded interesting. Toni From: texasems-l [mailto:texasems-l ] On Behalf Of ExLngHrn@...

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 The theme seems to be ammonia. My wife bought an ant bite pen from Wal-Mart and the active ingredient is " ammonia " . You can also try " Windex " if you are adverse to peeing on you bites. -Mark From: texasems-l [mailto:texasems-l ] On Behalf Of Stan Brandt CCEMT-P Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 10:36 PM To: texasems-l Subject: RE: Re: Fire ant bites question If you want to see awesome effects of taking away the sting and a faster healing time.
