I find that if you do nothing to them (don't scratch), eat healthy and sleep more (and earlier), they tend to go away faster and not get very bad.

My cure is to not go outside.

a product called "AFTERBITE". Kind of hard to find, but they alway have it at Walgreens. Within 15 minutes the itching is gone and never comes back. It is amonia based...but I have never tried just plain amonia.....

benadryl cream works really well, as does hydrocortizone

Witch hazel can relieve minor skin irritations like bug bites and rashes. It doesn't work for everyone but it might work for you. It's really really cheap and if it doesn't work for that, you can use it as an astringent to clean up your pores.

There are enough good answers here that I don't need to add my 2 cents - but I do have a question - what the hell are mosquitos doing in your house in <b>Tucson</b>????????

I lived there for 20 years and saw maybe 3 the whole time.

Growing up I used Sea Breeze. I walked around with a constant dozen or more bites during the warmer months. The ones behind the ear were the only ones that got scratched too much, mostly by my pillow.

Now I just distract myself and pretend I don't feel the itch. It works for everything.

Yup, I use Afterbite as well. Skeeter bites don't bother me or my youngest daughter a bit, but my wife and oldest girl both go out of their mind if they get bit even once. Afterbite works great for them.

A buddy claims that he mixes hand lotion and ammonia, and that works great as well. I haven't tried it yet, as I still have about two years supply of Afterbite.

I have heard that if you use Chewing Tabacco make a paste and rub it on the bite, the swelling and itch will immediately go away. The tabacco supposedly sucks the posion right out. I have never tried it, San Diego doesn't really have a bug problem. But anything is worth a shot

I lie in a hot (as hot as I can stand) bath for a bit, and resist the urge to scratch them. After a while, you don't feel like scratching em anymore.

I live in Tucson too, I've noticed they've been around a little. I think it's from all the rain we just had. But yes, I didn't see it mentioned in here, but the best thing I've found for bug bites is your own saliva. Seems to me that if I lick a bug bite, it stops itching. Works for me though. Surprised no one else mentioned this...

I slap them if they really itch and use anything cold.
