Bug Bite Remedies

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.
