A baking soda paste. Linda F. remembers trying this remedy on bug bites when she was pregnant and trying to avoid unnecessary chemicals. Sarah H. also uses a baking soda paste to quell the itch of bug bites. Both say to mix baking soda with enough water to make a sticky paste, rub it over the bug bite, and leave it there to dry. Meat tenderizer. Mom KayDee B. says she uses a paste, too, but she makes it out of meat tenderizer and water.
Onion can reduce the pain and swelling of bites and stings from insects such as wasps, bees, ants, spiders, and mosquitoes. Image credit Garlic. To reduce the itching and swelling form bug bites, slice a garlic clove and rub the affected area with the juicy side. Garlic can sting, so be very careful when using this method to treat bug bites. I suggest using on adults and not children (at least to begin with) and only rub the garlic clove over the bite a few times.
