The best solution for misquito bites is using your own salvia. Just place some on your fingers & pat it on the bite. Might have to repeat several times. But it really works. I know it sounds gross but who cares. Itching or your own salvia on the bite? What do you all think???

Tried it, doesn't work. I buy a cheap bottle of lemon cologne from a supermarket and spray my visible bits. Stays good for about 4 hours. Mosquitoes hate the smell, but you can't smell it after a few minutes

my mom told me to do that, but i use a combination of that and a dab of toothpaste. Learned that at camp, it works really well with the itching.
WHAT EVER YOU DO...DON'T USE "AFTER BITE" ON IT, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAS BEEN CUT OPEN. IT BURNS LIKE A MOTHERF*CKER!

well if it works i'll give it a try. right now i have 7 bites and they're driving me mad.
your suggestion isn't as gross as another one i got told. my mum reckoned using your own pee works. i don't think i want to try that one!

It doesnt work for longer than a few seconds. Tried it. Dream on!

the best solution is to ignore it. Don't try to touch the bitten area or it will increase the itchiness.

You can also dab them with antiperspirant. It's a little more sanitary and less smelly than dried spit.
