How do you get rid of bug bites quickly?

Filed under: bites 

I got a lot of bug bites on my legs and I'm going to camp tomorrow and i dont want to have tons of bites all over me for a whole week at camp. Any quick and easy suggestions?

If they are welts and are itchy, apply ice to reduce the swelling.

I also put rubbing alcohol on them to reduce the size.

Cortizone cream or the like works well in reducing them too.

This regiment reduces and eliminates them in a few days not instantly.

  4. I agree with Queen. Another alternative is something called "Tiger Balm", which is of chinese origin. If there are any chinese herb shops or something by your house, try and ask for it there, or seach on the web. It drastically reduces itching and redness, doesn't clear them instantly, but works really well.

  6. i find a little walk in the ocean does wonders so if you can't do that try soaking in a tub with sea salt.

  8. Hi! You need to go to Walmart and buy anti-itch cream. You need to take some to camp with you. While you are in Walmart, also get some "Off Bug Spray Deep Woods". You are vulnerable to insect bites. You have to protect yourself this entire week. Please don't run out of these items. Wishing you well at camp!

  10. Vinegar usually helps – dab it on with a tissue or cotton bud.
