Wow, I never thought about that... Thanks for the tips I'll try the tea tree oil.

Lani Palmer

If you use tea tree oil it will reduce the swelling and take away the itch--and you can skip the baking soda paste in a hurry. It also can help prevent bites when rubbed directly on the skin. Just make sure you at using therapeutic grade essential oils. Lavender can help heal any scarring from too much scratching.
