Works for me, but maybe not for other folks. And something else I learned many years ago from my ex-mom-in-law... use a dab of hairspray on a skeeter bite... I still use that on the grandkids and they all say it works every time! :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073882040193144070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-37910128493253639442014-07-15T15:55:19.945-05:002014-07-15T15:55:19.945-05:00Nice.

I think the heat was supposed to kill the protein that causes the itching but obviously it didn't. And yes...SO hot! It would have been a great trick if it worked.
