It's summer. And that means:more insects. Some of those critters can sting and sting ugly. If you are really bothered by the itching, you can try this.
With some, such a bite is a bit more intense than with others, but we are almost all familiar with a red spot, thick disc or quite itchy bump. If you don't want to go on the pills right away and would rather leave your doctor alone for something like this, then try these home-garden-and-kitchen solutions!

Simple and effective:wet a cotton tea towel or other cloth with cold water and place it over the itchy bite or bump. Cooling works wonderfully on an insect bite and is of course extra tasty on a hot summer day.
With a mosquito bite, dabbing a little bit of vinegar on it can help. It is important that you have not already scratched the bump considerably, because vinegar is stinging.
Strange but true. The inside of a banana peel can also help soothe the itch from an insect bite. So don't throw the peel in the organic waste bin for a while after eating the yellow crackle, but put it with the inside on the bite.
