2. Banana peel
This may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it is highly recommended. Just rub the inside of a banana peel on the mosquito bite. This should greatly reduce the itching. The moisture is removed from the mosquito bite by the sugars in the peel, which reduces the itching.
3. Ice cubes
Have you only just been stung? Then run to the freezer! Cool the mosquito bite as quickly as possible to prevent itching. Put a few ice cubes in a flannel or tea towel, and keep it on the mosquito bite for at least twenty minutes. The cold will ensure that you don’t feel the itching and the swelling will disappear. If you are completely covered with mosquito bites, you can consider taking an (ice) cold shower.
