Mosquito Bite Treatment

It’s vital that you get start mosquito bite treatment quickly. Mosquito bites can be so itchy that they can ruin your summer vacation making you feel so uncomfortable that you don’t even get a decent nights sleep. Of course the itching can also lead to infection as the more you scratch the more likely you are to open a wound.

What's The Answer

There are many natural treatments that can be found. However the best that I have ever come across was one given to me by a fellow holiday maker in the Dominican years ago. Very stupidly my husband and I had a very romantic walk on a beautiful starry night along a fantastic Caribbean beach. The next morning our legs were covered in bites. When I say covered I really do mean covered in red hot blotchy, itchy, bites.

A fellow holiday maker came up to me and said “you need white rum for those” now considering I had not yet seen this lady sober I was a little sceptical. However I was desperate so I went up to the bar at 10am in the morning and asked for a neat glass of white rum. I immediately rubbed the rum onto my legs and within 5 minutes the itching was gone. I was amazed. My husband tried the remedy and the same happened the itching disappeared. Wonderful. Ok the bites didn’t disappear and we did smell a bit, but hey with the itching gone it meant they were not driving us crazy and we enjoyed the rest of our holiday. There was also a bonus as we did not experience any infection. Yes I did buy the lady who told me this little secret remedy a drink in the bar later to thank her!
