Natural Mosquito Remedies

Studies suggest that some natural anti-inflammatory remedies are very effective mosquito bite remedies in some people: oral evening primrose oil (Lancet) and papaverine (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology). You might find both of these products in a health food store. Some more natural remedies and preventions against mosquito bites are: • Insects are attracted to smells, so avoid concentrated perfumes and strong hair sprays in the summer. • Bites or stings can be cooled and soothed with water, ice cubes or cold drink cans • Use organic repellents to prevent getting bitten.
