Remedy for Itching Mosquito Bites

Have you ever been to a outdoor activity and got bit by a mosquito? Well if so, keep reading. There are many ways to prevent the pests but what happens when they do bite? You can use tape or use clear fingernail polish.

Here's the story behind this useful tip. One day I was outside taking the trash out, and I noticed a bug on my arm. I smacked it and about 3 hours later I noticed it was 3 bites on my arm. The bug had got me good.

I heard a lady talking a week earlier about how clear nail polish stops itching and swelling around the injection site of the mosquito. So I tried it and it actually worked. It stopped the itching and the swelling went down.

All you have to do is get some clear nail polish and apply it to the bite. In about 8 to 10 hours the polish will start to crack and you may have to do the process again.
