The Great Raemondo Jul 2021 3:00pm, 9 Jul 2021 7,972 posts	0 The Great Raemondo Have you tried assaulting it (by which I mean applying firmly for a few seconds) with a hot teaspoon? I read somewhere that this interrupts the reaction which causes the itching somehow, and even if it's just a placebo effect it seems to be work on me.
EvilPixie Jul 2021 3:02pm, 9 Jul 2021 26,349 posts	0 EvilPixie thanks fraggle I got bitten on a run the other day - it was inconveniently the same place as the cuff of my bike shorts so itched every pedal stroke

The Great Raemondo Jul 2021 3:21pm, 9 Jul 2021 7,973 posts	0 The Great Raemondo Antihistamines too maybe? I always feel like if there was justice in the world bug bites would stop hurting if you can kill the bug what bit you.
