September 21, 2007, Newsletter Issue #81: Treating Mosquito Bites
Tip of the Week
The usual mosquito bite treatments include:
• cool compresses
• antihistamines
• anti-itching compounds
• anti-inflammatory medicines
For a cool compress, apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel or soak a washcloth in cold water and press it on the bite (packaged frozen foods also work well). The treatments listed are fairly inexpensive and available in most grocery, convenience, and drug stores.
It should be noted that some individuals are prone to more severe reactions to mosquito bites than others. If none of the aforementioned treatments alleviate the discomfort caused by a bite don't underestimate the severity of the situation. Seek medical attention to asses the problem.
