i have these 3 bug bites on my leg (kinda like misqitoe bites but worse?). they itch reeeaaalllyy bad. is there any natural remedy for this? like a cream or something i could make?
Sounds like tick or chigger bites, if so, you'll be scratching for months... You can try the chemicals at the store or read up on a great plant called Jewelweed... it's my favorite plant in the wild. Instant relief for bug bites, ivy or sumac rashes, stinging nettle, burns... not only relieves the itch, but also cures the treated area... and if you have extra, you can even eat the plant. Make sure you learn to identify any plant and know it well before using it. Hope it grows in your area.
I don't know if it will work for your situation but WD-40 (basically an edible fish oil) helps on many insect bites including mosquitos, no-seeums, wasp etc unless you are allergic to the bee, wasp, and hornet stings as I am.
ammonia! it really works. just rub a little on your bite, slap it a couple of times, and you forget you were even bit. i've even used windex on mosquito bite on my legs when i didn't have straight ammonia. i can also vouch for using jewel weed - works great on poison ivy!
Try applying heat as from hot water or a hair dryer...not so much heat that it would burn the skin though. Most of the time the itchiness disappears once the skin returns to it's normal temperature and can remain un-itchy fir up to 6 hours. The itching may often disappear after doing this twice.
Eat a lot of garlic to keep most of them off you to begin with, or if in the wild, eat broad leaf plantain, a few seed tops a day and they'll leave you alone soon enough, they contain the vitamin B group, which bugs hate. Again, know your plants well before using for food or medicine. Peace
