4 ways to treat mosquito bites at home
If you were unable to avoid the mosquitos, you can at least make the bits a little easier to live with. To treat mosquito bites at home try:
1. Oatmeal paste
Mix equal parts oatmeal and water to create a paste. Apply the paste to your mosquito bite and cover with a washcloth. Hold in place for a few minutes before rinsing, Healthline recommends.
2. Honey
Apply a drizzle of honey to your mosquito bite for a little itch relief.
3. Aloe vera
Aloe vera isn’t just great for sunburns, the gel has anti-inflammatory properties which could help reduce the swelling of any mosquito bites.
4. Baking soda
Create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to your itch and let it dry before rinsing away.
