Mosquito bites - a tip
Useful bit of advice that I have dispensed a few times this week:
Linda's Method of Dealing With Mosquito Bites:
1) Acquire bite (not advised)
2) Apply to bite: 1% hydrocortisone cream (steroid, reduces inflamation); tea tree and witch-hazel cream (healing / anti-infection).
3) If itching: Boil kettle, make tea (or just hot water). Wait until mug has cooled enough to hold on to, not quite hot enough to hurt but as close as possible. Apply mug to bite area for ~30sec. Tadaa - less itching!
