Does anyone have any proven methods for stopping mosquito bites from itching? A few of them are now massive and I scratched two of them so hard that I bruised the skin beside them.
All this because I put insect repellent on my arms and neck for my zoo based Christmas party but didn’t think about the exposed skin from my ripped jeans and they had a FEAST.
There’s a piezo electric mozzie zapper device which is the same thing as the click-starter on a bbq or gas hot water system. Gas stove’s have them too but they’re often mains powered. If you see an old gas hot water system on the nature strip you can extract the clicker/zapper without tools. Then you zap the mozzie bite to help with the itch. Or, and maybe TMI, zap your partners bits while blindfolded but consenting. It’s a pretty mild zap, as young teens we’d collect them to torment each other.
Dig your fingernail into the bite location pretty hard, rotate finger 90 degrees and push in hard again so you’re basically making a little cross right in the middle of the bite.
(clean hands beforehand obviously and chuck a bit of antiseptic on bite after).

Amputation
This is the only solution I think. Amputation of both legs above the knee. Solves the problem of my sore feet too.

I DO.
But it doesn’t make much sense.

*This is not medical advice
I’ll give it a good go.
Calamine lotion or an antihistamine
I did the antihistamine and unfortunately didn’t work. So I’ll have to obtain some calamine lotion instead.
Try both of them together
