Re: Anyone got a home remedy for mosquito bites?

this is gonna sound weird...I always get welts, and if you put a tiny piece of scotch tape on the welts for a few hours then pull them off, the welts shrink!!

I think it pulls the mosquito poison out or something

Ammonia is what is in those "After-Bite" sticks you get in the stores.

Yup! and Windex has a higher concentration of it, so it's always worked better for me than the 'bug bite' stuff. Chat Icon

You should be able to get it by the rubbing alcohol, etc.

This truly works & also I like to make an "X" in the bite itself. For some reason, it stops the itch immediately

Windex, and if you eat a banana a day it repels them also. My SIL eats them everyday and I swear she hasnt gotten bit in years.
