Two Things Irking You Right Now

[Frosty]

The key to mosquito bites is do not scratch them under any circumstance. After you get bit, they will burn like a son of a bitch for about a half hour or so but if you don't scratch them, they won't swell and itch. The bite will shrink down to a small red dot and will go away in a day or two (and won't itch unless you rub it against something). Benedryl gel on the bite helps during the burning stage and actually taking Benedryl seems to help if you get a lot of bites.
