Any tips/tricks on taking trouble of or relieving strain & itch from insect bites?
Mandy,
Depending how bad they are, here are some things that will relieve.
1. Blow on it with a pelt dryer for as long as you can stand it. When it starts to burn some, back bad and just narrowly hit it with the atmosphere from the side. At first it will tingle and feel really, really obedient. Then, after about 30 second or whenever you quit, you won't feel the itch at adjectives. This works for poison ivy too. As hot a bath as you can stand minus scalding yourself will help but not as much. I be told about this trick by a coworker when I have poison ivy so badly I couldn't even wear clothes for several days. Major point: you aren't trying to burn yourself here. Stop previously any damage happen.
2. Icy Hot for arthritis. It has salicylic tart in it. Rub on a goodly amount, and wipe sour the extra. Be careful to clear up your hands really very well afterwards and not touch your eyes or nose or mouth (or any sensitive areas). The itch won't stop right away but after almost 15 minutes, you won't notice the bites. I found this on chance after trying everything in the bathroom once when I have several dozen mosquito bites due to fishing in the foggy. I got the poison ivy on a fishing trip as in good health.
3. Benadryl lotion rubbed in without restraint, in conjunction beside benadryl or some other allergy medicine taken in words.
4. Avoid fishing?
Good luck.

wash near water and put some adjectives ointment
There are masses over the counter ointments that work all right such as After-Bite. The swelling and itching comes from histamine that is injected by the insect. Any anti-histimine such as Benedryl will backing with itching and swelling. Applying an rime pack to it for about 10-20 min. will also assistance. Rubbing alcohol is also good.
