The easiest and fastest way to get rid of itch after a mosquito bite. Relevant for Summer Residents

In the summertime, I relax in nature, do my gardening, breathe fresh air on the terrace. Mosquitoes do not fit into a country idyll. If you can install mosquito nets indoors, it is more difficult to escape bites in nature. The result is skin irritation, blistering and itching.

In the country, I use simple ways to help my skin recover from a mosquito bite.

Here are the most affordable methods to relieve itching:

• Aloe vera juice. It has a refreshing and anti-inflammatory effect. You need to apply juice to the bite and let the liquid dry. Aloe will also help in cases where a person has scratched the skin before scratching.

In this situation, you need to rinse the wound and then tie the pulp of the plant to the problem area.

• Basil excellent mosquito repellent. In addition, this plant contains a substance called eugenol, which relieves itching well. Pour boiling water over dried basil leaves.

When the liquid has cooled, you need to moisten a cotton pad and then apply to the bite. If basil is growing on the site, then a fresh leaf of the plant can be applied to the itchy area.

• Thyme prevents infection and relieves inflammation well. Crushed leaves of a fresh plant can be applied to the bite. You can also use thyme decoction to treat the skin.
• Melissa relieve inflammation from mosquito bites, accelerate healing and soothe itching. You can apply a cooled decoction of this herb to the skin or use an essential oil.
• Chamomile perfectly relieves itching. One filter bag must be filled with a glass of cold water and sent to the refrigerator for half an hour. Then drain off excess liquid. Next, attach the bag of chamomile to the bite site for 10 minutes.

These plants are easy to find in the country, if there are no such medicinal herbs on the site, then they can be bought at the nearest pharmacy.

You should consult your doctor if the skin does not heal for more than a week or if the temperature rises. Sometimes mosquito and other insect bites can cause allergic reactions.

This can lead to anaphylactic shock in rare cases. It is characterized by strong palpitations, loss of consciousness, and suffocation. With symptoms of anaphylactic shock, an ambulance should be called immediately.

While it is difficult to completely avoid mosquito bites, you can scare these insects away with wormwood smoke, as well as fresh lavender and yarrow. In the recreation area, I planted an elderberry and pelargonium flowers. Such plants repel insects.
