Hi Avan,
You can buy these little things from any good camping store.
Mine are green with a black push button on top.I can't think what they're called just at present but you place the bottom end over the bite & press the button.
It works for me even if I have to do it several times in one try.
Then when they start to itch again give them another shot or 3.
Where are you?
Take care,safe travels.
Bye Ma.

I rub a bit of Vicks on mine...works a treat for me...

Cheers.......Borgy

Hi Avan,
ran into a mate a few weeks back and they were highly impressed with this

Blow me down if it also wasn't on a caravan forum I was reading a few days back as well. It is all natural and apparently came from the sellers Aboriginal ancestors in SE Queensland. (I hope I got that right.)

I have no affiliation etc etc but will be buying some on my mates recommendation.

Stingoze or Stop itch works for me.

The good old Tea Tree Oil - a dab of the pure stuff, lots of benefits not just the relief of the itch and sting.

Tiger balm topically if aged, or antihistamine cream (or tablets) if fresh.

good HOT shower and wash well with soap seems to calm them down ....... mozzies and sandfly bites...

Only one product works 100%, Ungvita Vitamin A Ointment from the Chemist . it works in minutes for mozzies and sand fly bites and all stings. Its not made for this purpose but it works.

If at home, rubbing the gel from breaking an Aloe Vera leaf on any bites does wonders, particularly if used soon after being bitten. I can't take an Aloe Vera plant across some state borders, so have to rely on products such as a freeze feeling gel from the pharmacy.

My mum always told me to put a "cross" on it and it will stop hurting.

By "cross", she meant to press hard with your fingernail to leave a good imprint on it. Then do it again to make a "cross" (if that makes sense).

If anything, at least the pain will mask/disguise the itchiness temporarily!!!

Our son was having bad reactions to the mozzies up north a few years ago and an Aboriginal guide told us to rub banana skin on them (the inside). It actually worked, placebo or not I don't know, but the reactions went down quite quickly.

Hi... we have had success with a chemist bought line called Animine similar to calamine lotion but more effective.

And to stop being bitten at all, try spraying exposed skin with any brand of spray deodorant. works for us. good luck.

A nurse friend of ours put us onto a cream called Germolene, anyone from england will know it well, it is not available in stores but is available for about $10 a tube online, we normally buy 6 or so tubes at a time..It is brilliant stuff it contains a local antiseptic in it so it numbs the area straight away, we have sensitive skin on some of our kids and it doesnt worry them either, we have also tried the cream to the extreme when one night while out camping out the back of Tom Price WA our eldest son was bitten by a Centepede he was in agony so I smothered this cream all over his foot and put a sock on his foot and stuffed it full of ice, it worked a treat!!
It works a treat on Mozzie bites as it makes the whole area numb also very good on cuts and grazes...It is the essential thing that I take whenever we go camping.

My mother in law (in her late 80s) uses straight vinegar, just rub it well into the bite. It has worked for me the last few nights, we have a plague of mossies at the moment.
