Skeeter Quick Tip

Next time you get one of those dreaded mosquito bites, don't be too quick to pull out the anti-itch creams. Although creams like hydrocortisone may work well, there is also a far more simple solution. Numb the bite with an ice cube. This tricks your nerves so that you no longer experience the itching sensation. (However, be sure to apply an antibiotic anointment afterwards to ward off infection.)
