malw71 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I must spread this news. A lady told me a while back that to stop the itching from a mozzie bite you simply make an X with one of your fingernails directly onto the bite. I tried it yesterday and it worked a treat, no miserable scratching for hours, after 10 mins I didn't even know it was there. Spread the word!

rio666uk Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 dunno if you've seen em in thailand - but before my last trip to thailand i bought a small device that you click and it generates a high volt shock to the bite area... you feel nothing more than a tiny shock much less than a static shock - it shuts down the nerves around the bite area for quite some time... can buy em from most boots etc http://www.gear-zone.co.uk/eshop/Click---I...in-Minutes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Best not to touch it for as long as possible. They love me and I can get bites up to 1cm across! I have always found that if you leave it they are ok. If you have itched it (I usually manage it without thinking or in my sleep) then put some pure tea tree oil on it. Its a natural antiseptic and it helps them to heal. To make it all better the mozzies seem to hate the smell so they dont bite you again in the same area!!

Uma~~ Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I find some bites last longer than others regardless if you scratch them or not. The ones that don't form a bump, like on the side of your foot where the skin is deeper and tougher are the worst, they linger there for days so there's no bump to 'X' with your nail.

mouse Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Eat lots of spicy food, after a week it makes a difference. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Lots and lots of sex takes one's mind off the itch. Best regards Scratchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion76 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 If it itches start surfing the web for info on dengue and malaria to take your mind off the itch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Turner Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 mix chilli seeds with maple syrup and rub it in, works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Eat lots of spicy food, after a week it makes a difference. Works for me. You become so busy on the toilets, and your stomach aches so you forget about bites, right? Tiger balm, or thai equivalents are efficient for me...

Kiwi/Thai Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Tiger balm works for me also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Another vote for tiger balm, works brilliantly (the red one, not the white one). I think it works because of the clove oil, which is an anaesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
