    I think there’s a little stick of some kind of medicine or another you can buy to rub on a bite as well as not touch it, scratching makes it a lot worse. Other than that, try not to have a lot of sweat on you and don’t stay still for a long time outside.

      Pressing the back of a hot spoon firmly does wonders to stop the itch. Like tap water hot… not crack rock hot.

        I use a hair dryer to blow on the bites until they don’t itch anymore (can feel a bit painful when doing it), but it stops the itching for about 4 to 5 hours.
