Thanks for the advice.

One of the best things for mosquito bites is to get a cloth and put it into hot water. Squeeze out excess water then when it is hot, almost still too hot to bear but not enough to scald, press over the bite for a minute.

The heat works at dissolving the protein in the bite which causes the itching.

I guess that your explanation would cover why Val A was saying that to use an electronic "clicker" over the bite would be effective. I did wonder!!

I find "Witch Doctor" works, but I can't get it here so have to import it and use it sparingly. I will have to look out for Apaisyl, I attract the little dears. Once I had thirty two bites on my face the only exposed part of me, and people were dragging their kids away when I walked down the street.
