Bug Bite Relief / No Scratching Please!

Woke up this morning to the charming discovery that I spent the night cuddled up with a mosquito. Fortunately, I remembered this little tip for instant itch relief: just dissolve a couple of Alka-Seltzer tablets in some water and apply the mixture to the bite. Alka-Seltzer is presently fizzing away in a glass on our kitchen table while I smack at my ankles (no scratching!) in antici…pation.

    My Nana always told me that some spittle was enough to deal with the itching, unless you're facing a bigger challenge of course. Ever considered bedbugs, it being New York and all.

    Nah, I don't think so – there was only one on my ankle and one on my calf, and bed bugs bite in rows (my friend had them). Maybe I got them when I was out at dinner…?
