I have two natural remedies for insect bites. 1. For any irritating bite - rub with the inside of a banana skin - it really works. 2. A teaspoon dipped in HOT water and the tip applied to a mosquito bite breaks down the enzymes, protein, or whatever it is that causes the itch. (Sometimes needs repeating a couple of times)
