I'm bang out of Waspeze; I can't find the antihistamine cream and I've used the last piriton.
I have been eaten alive by mozzies - any home remedies I can use to stop the maddening itch until I can get to a chemist tomorrow?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Have not tried all these myself but have been told that applying a hot spoon (heated under the hot tap) to the bite will stop the itching. Also try covering the bites to keep the air off them, that helps. I was badly bitten ln Greece once and was given a bottle of vinegar with chopped raw garlic in it and told to dab it on the bites. It eased the itching but nobdy would sit near me at breakfast!
Vinegar for wasp stings Bicarb for bees (make sure you've get the Sting out)
Have you lavender oil? It will help the itch.
I make up the "potion" for my husband who gets eaten alive at this time of year In a small spray bottle, pour in some Rosewater, add a few drops of tea tree oil (will also help with the itch) some lavender oil and some citronella oil, and a teaspoon of vodka shake and spray as required.
If you can get your hands on some Tea Tree body wash and use it daily in your shower it'll also help to keep the little blighters away
