Aloe vera
carley in Brunswick, OH USA -
Ever since I was little well I still am little Imm 10, but I use aloe vera it works so good every time I get a mosquito bite I use it, and I go camping every year and I get bit up the most but every year I pack aloe vera in my bag. I love it, this year I got bit on my right leg 22 times on my left 18 on my right arm, I got bit 12 times and on my left arm, I got bit 26 times and I even got some on my face. Well as you can see I got bit over 78 times and all the itch goes away when I use aloe vera, I don't know what works for you but when it comes to mosquito bites aloe vera is my lucky charm.

Smells Good Its Natural & Quick -N- Ez
Priscilla in Bronx, NY USA -Go to the local super-market and stock up on limes (the green ones) roll them between your hand and a flat surface such as a table to get the most juice from them before cutting them. Cut the lime in pieces and just rub the juice on your body. Not only do you smell nice n sweet it works as a deodorizer as well and I PROMISE the bugs wont bite you!

Vinegar
Sophie in Maine -During the summer, I get an average of 30 bug bites a month. And on top of that, I scratch like crazy. So, needless to say, I tried everything out there. Most remedies weren't effective but then my uncle introduced me to this one.
Apply vinegar to a cotton ball or napkin and gently apply it to your itchy bug bite. It really works to relieve the itchiness on a fresh bug bite.
It may sound disgusting but it's probably the best remedy out there.

Darn Itch!
Alli in Channahon, IL USA -
I got a bite on the bottom of my foot! it itched so bad I couldn't sleep! So after about a half hour of itching it(which you shouldn't do) I decided to get some aloe vera gel. it didn't work as good as I wanted it too. Do I wiped it off, put some deodorant on it then put aloe vera on and around the area, then I put salt all over. it worked very well!

The cure
billy bob joe in at 555555555 -If you need fast relive just put a wet washcloth on it. It wont last long but long enough for you to find a real cure like windex.

Good Bye Itch
Shelby in Utah -Squirt a quarter size circle of lotion in your palm and rub it all over the bite. It makes it hard to itch. Then put hand sanitizer on a wash cloth and keep it on for 2 min.

Geranium / Lavender /eau de cologne
Kim in Yorkshire, UK -A Greek friend gave me a bottle of over the counter Geranium oil he uses to deter mozzies, and it worked. Not being able to find it here in the UK I decided to make my own blend. I use pure essential oils (not fragrance). I blend 4 drops geranium oil per 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil, in a handy to carry spray bottle. This I apply to expose areas (arms and feet, avoid face). I dab a little on my neck and ear lobes.
As a 'body' spray I use lavender water (over the counter bought) and spray as required, under arms on clothes etc, they don't seem to like lavender.
And if one of the little blighters does get through. I just dab on eau de cologne and that seems to kill the itch.
To reduce inflammation keep the area as cold as possible for as often as possible, heat starts the irritation.
Aloe Vera 100% is a good application, and natural yoghut can be used as a calamine lotion substitute.
