I went to an engagement party on Saturday and came home with 15 mosquito bites on my right foot alone (they love my O+ blood, but the feeling's not mutual). Needless to say, I'm SUPER itchy. Give me your best remedies, cause so far, nothing is working!

A few have said (and I agree) topical benadryll stick....even better when vigorously applied. Cold pack is good too. If those don't work..... amputation
Growing up in Louisiana. ... the state bird is the mosquito. ... been very near the amputation option on many an occasion
Seems O+ does taste best.... that mine too

Tea Tree Oil may help. Use it sparingly because it is strong. Apple Cider Vinegar is another item that will help.

@lslatt1 good. Then enjoy your itch free sleep. Lol
I get whatever super strength itch cream Walgreens has.

Hydrocortisone cream and oral Benadryl.
I’ve also hear a hot bath can help disperse the venom? Not sure if that’s the right term
If you don’t like that ice.

The Benadryl is my plan for bedtime... hopefully, it puts me in an itch-less coma so I don't wake up every few hours after the creams wear off. The hydrocortisone cream. sadly, hasn't worked much -- I've gone through nearly a whole tube at this point.
