1.Toothpaste.

Apply a small drop of toothpaste directly on the bite to reduce swelling and itchiness.

2.Salt.

Wet the bug bite with warm water and sprinkle salt generously over the bite. Let the water and salt dry on your arm for best results.

3.Banana Peel.

Rub the inside of a banana peel directly on the bite to bring down swelling and the itchy feeling.

4.Baking Soda.

Make a small paste of baking soda and water in a small bowl. Apply the paste directly on the bite and let it dry. Wash the area once the itching has stopped.

5.Lemon slice.

Apply the lemon slice directly to the mosquito bite and let it sit till the bite starts to reduce or if the itching subsides.
