Mosquitoes are frequently the down side of warm holidays. You’re enjoying one of your nice caribbean holidays with the beating down and suddenly (often overnight) you find yourself covered in loads of itchy bites. Quite often we are invading on their territory so being bothered by mosquitoes is usually to be expected. However, that’s not to say we have to live in discomfort. Just follow these simple tips and you’ll be back to enjoying your holiday.
1.) Soap and water should be used to clean out the bite and also the area surrounding it. To give you the best chance of preventing the bite getting infected and to minimize swelling, do this ASAP. You should continue to keep all bites clean until they have gone down, especcially if your somewhere that maybe has lower standards of cleanliness like some parts of Thailand holidays
2.) Put some ice on a thin towel, wrap it up and place directly onto the bite.This will cool the surrounding area and reduce blood flow to the bite site. The result of which will be a reduction in swelling and relieve from any pain
3.) For a natural way to reduce discomfort, use baking soda and salt. Make a paste by adding a little water to the baking soda and then add into that a little salt. The baking soda will bring down swelling and the salt will decrease itching. Additionally aloe vera works in a similar way
4.) You may also want to seek relief from a number of the man-made treatment creams. A tropical anaesthetic that contains pramxomin or calamine lotion will help with irritation and pain. To test for any adverse effects that the medications might have, try them on one bite to start with and stop using if they make them worth.
5.) Oral drugs can often work well in combination with the other methods. An anti-histamine will work to reduce the bodies negative response to the bite and will generally make you feel better. Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen do pretty much the same job but better reduce swelling
