What can I put on mozzie bites to relieve the itch?

I don't have any calamine lotion.

It sounds odd, but I use ammonia on most bug bites. :)

Heh, I don't think we have any of that either!

scratch them till they bleed, always works for me!

or tomato juice? wait, no that's for smelly stuffs, nevermind.

one of the bartenders put a bit of vodka on a rash I had, saying it would stop the itch. did it? eh, little bit? maybe the hives got drunk?

Ah well... isocol, but you won't have that either. Perhaps vinegar, that works on bee stings.

If you can't find anything, find something really involving to do for a few hours and they'll go away without you noticing.

mix some bi-carb into a paste & dab that on them & leave it as long as you can.

Witch hazel. Tea tree oil.

your roll on deodorant contains aluminium which stops the itching because it counteracts the poison. toothpaste dries the spot out as it does with pimples... being english the mozzies love my sweet foreign blood so I usually dont carry calamine with me everywhere and have to improvise.

do this

take a few benedryl and drink a few rum and cokes. You may still itch, but you just won't care! lol

Agreed- it's the best and cheapest way to stop the itch!

Anecdotally, urine is good for mozzie stings!!

Lavendar oil...if you have some on hand. Works on all sorts of things like poison ivy/oak, bug bites, rashes, pretty much anything that itches.
