I have Marmite every day and it doesn't stop me getting bitten, I recently got bitten on the sole of my foot whilst sitting out in the garden, luckily I had a bite and sting relief roll on from Poundland which helped a lot, it also helped on the same day when I was attacked by some stinging nettles. Although I think prevention is better than cure, so try some repellent as well, says she who has some but didn't apply it = bitten foot!
There is a little gadget you can buy called "Zanza-click" which you place over the bite and just click a few times. This causes the histamine within the bite to disperse and the itching eases and goes.
We have had one for a few years, and it comes out every year when necessary. Very tiny, so can be carried in a handbag or pocket. I think Boots sold them.

If you catch it immediately - which isn't so easy if you're out and about, I know - try an Aspivenin. It draws out the stuff that's causing the problem and is reusable for ever (until it breaks, I suppose). I got bitten by a horse fly the other day, used it at once and had not problem afterwards, wherease I normally react very badly.
If you're using loads of your cream Ratter, you're best to change it for another type. I use Anthisan Bite & Sting too and it works within minutes. Soemtimes needs applying again after a few hours, but that's usually it.
We're all bitten to differing degrees and all respond to creams in differnet way. Swap it until you find the one for you. But the anti his element is awlays a good idea.
