How do I stop my mosquito bites from itching?

During my trip to Peru I got bitten by mosquitos and it's driving me crazy! What is a great way to get them to stop itching if I have limited access to medication?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Home Remedies For Mosquito Bites

Salt
This seems to be the quickest of all home remedies for mosquito bites. Simply moisten the bite area and then rub table salt on the moistened area. Itching should cease immediately.

Apple Cider Vinegar
To relieve the itching, rub apple cider vinegar directly on the mosquito bites.

Toothpaste:
Toothpaste is another one of the fastest home remedies for mosquito bites. Just dab a bit of toothpaste onto the mosquito bites and the itching should stop very quickly. Peppermint toothpaste is by far the best.

Calamine Lotion:
Apply calamine lotion to relieve the itching caused by mosquito bites.

Ammonia:
Ammonia is another one of the home remedies for mosquito bites that is a very effective "itch eliminator".

Aloe:
Aloe seems to top the list of all home remedies for mosquito bites when it comes to both eliminating the itch and healing the wound.

Lemon:
The biggest problem derived from scratching one's itch is the threat of infections.
So, for itching that just won't stop, and if you just have to scratch, cut a lemon in half and scratch your itch with the soft pulpy side of it. This will reduce the chances of getting an infection from scratching with your fingernails.

Deodorant:
Rub deodorant on the bites and the relief will be almost instant. This also works for other types of itchy bites.

Baking Soda:
Mixed baking soda and water together until a paste like substance. Then covered the bite areas.

Saliva:
Saliva is the key to getting rid of any mosquito bite. Just lick you're finger and apply to the bite.
