My son's friend's mother was from Mexico and she said to put a square of scotch tape on it. I never tried it but my son said it worked. Personally, I just avoided scratching them- it drives you insane for a short while, but they go away faster because you aren't working the serum further into your skin.
I've found that the best thing that works is to mix 1 Tablespoon of Epsom salt with 1/2 cup of water. I mix it up so the salt dissolves and then dip a wash cloth in and use as a compress on the bites. It works so well I couldn't believe it...and the bites didn't itch at all the next day like they would normally.
I noticed that the bites would dry up and heal faster too.
When you have a mosquito bite use clear finger nail polish it dries them up and gets rid of the itching.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
