Things You'll Need:
- Driver's License (18 or older)
- Can of Dip
-
Step 1
If you are 18 or older, go purchase a can of dipping tobacco from a local gas station or Wal-Mart. I recommend fine-cut wintergreen Skoal because it seems to work the best. Have this on hand to use when you're bitten. Get a new can every three months (unless you use it all up and need one sooner).
-
Step 2
When the mosquito bites you, wait for the bite to swell.
-
Step 3
When the bite has swelled, scratch it lightly with your fingernail until you slightly break the skin on top of the bite. This will allow the nicotine in the dip to do the job.
-
Step 4
Put a very small amount of dip on the bite and press it down lightly. This will burn, but you'll know it's working. The itch will be completely gone already! Leave it on for about a minute.
-
Step 5
After a minute is up, wipe the dip off or wash your arm.
-
Step 6
If you did everything correctly, the bite will never itch again!
