Learn an easy way to stop those pesky mosquito bites from itching!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Deodorant
  1. Step 1

    Try to avoid the urge to scratch!

  2. Step 2

    Wipe a small amount of anti-perspirant deodorant onto the area of the bite. Even spray deodorant works!

  3. Step 3

    Rub in the deodorant and you're all ready to go!

Tips & Warnings
  • Most people don't stock anti-itch cream or chalomine lotion in their cabinets, but just about everyone has a stick or can of deodorant.
  • I always carry a small travel size deodorant in my purse, that way if I'm bitten at a park, friends house, etc I have a way to stop the itching!
