Lavender Essential Oil
peggy@valleyviewlavenderfarm.com in Buhl, Idaho -When bitten by mosquitoes or no see-ums (biting midges or gnats) Simply dab a little lavender essential oil onto the bite. The swelling goes away and the urge to scratch stops. It is anti bacterial and anti fungual..........naturally... we sell this in a handy roll on bottle that you can keep in your pocket. It is not messy or greasy and you don't have to mix anything.

Copper Penny Relief
Tammy in South Carolina, USA -I take vitamin B1 to prevent bites. It had worked very well for over a month....then I went to my garden and these little black nat like mosquito's were all over my legs. I went into the house 'itching like crazy'. I had heard if you tape a copper penny to a bite, it will stop the itching. I had 30 pennies taped to my legs for about 15 minute: the itching almost stopped immediately. The next day you could not see the bites. WOW~ I was so glad I had read it. I also tried it on a fire ant bite and had the same results.... no 'pimple head' on the bite the next day.
