Natural Remedies For Summer Bites

Mother nature must feel badly about insect bites inflicted upon us since she has given us some remedies.

For mosquito bites use a little apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball and apply to the bite when you first feel it. Make sure the skin isn't broken however as vinegar will burn too much.

As far as a insect repellents, oil of lemon eucalyptus works. In fact it is now on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended list. (This was reported in Bottom Line Personal Aug. 15, 2006 edition.) It should be applied more often than other chemical-based repellents.
