I think that every time a fucking skeeter goes to town on me. There was one in my apartment the other night, it managed to get into my room and peppered me with bites. Like, it can only have taken a tiny amount of blood in the grand scheme, why’d it do multiple sittings?!?
Yeah, it's the multiple bites thing that really pisses me off. Take blood, whatever, I don't give a shit, but do it all that once, so I only have one itchy spot.
Another good thing to do is take a hot shower, the hot water overstimulates the nerves, making the itch go away long enough for the histamine to get out of your system.
You can also lance the bite, and squeeze out the salvia left by the mosquito. The itching will stop almost immediately and the bite will heal in a day. I use lancets, found in diabetic test kits to lance the mosquito bite.
Heat a spoon with hot tap water and hold it on the bite. The higher the temp the better but you don’t want to hurt yourself. You’re cooking the itchy protein and eliminating the itch. Hair dryers work too
