Insects are a part of summer and so are pesky bug bites. There may be a few things you have in your cabinets at home that will keep you from going to the drugstore when it comes to bug bite remedies.
Honey - acts as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial to ease pain and prevent infection.
Basil - contains camphor, which creates a cooling sensation and can relieve inflammation.
Toothpaste - The ingredients used to provide the mint flavor can reduce itchiness and swelling
Tea Bags - dampen a tea bag with cool water to sooth and reduce swelling.
Ice Pack - A single ice cube or an ice pack can reduce the body's reaction to a bite and help stop the itching.
