Mosquito bites cured with hot water

Submitted by Heather

To treat the itch of mosquito bites, run the bite under hot water in the shower. Slowly turn the water a little hotter every minute until it has a burning sensation.

The hot water will take the antihistamine out of the itch and the mosquito bite won't itch for a long time!
