Mosquito bites: Ease the itch
Mosquito bites are annoying, but you're not doomed to days of itching after your outdoor fun. Apply calamine lotion or an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to any itchy areas several times a day until your symptoms go away. A homemade baking soda paste may do the trick, too. Try a ratio of 3 teaspoons (15 milliliters) baking soda to 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) water. A cold pack or baggie filled with crushed ice may help, too.
