Use a cotton ball to dab mosquito and other bug bites with white vinegar straight from the bottle.

Tie a sheet of dryer sheets through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
Mosquito Bite Relief:
Rub some onion juice on the bite. Smells, but works!

How to Relieve a Bee/ Wasp Sting

If you get stung by one of these critters, crush up an aspirin, add a little water to make a paste then apply to the sting. My mother would make a paste of baking soda and water, it takes the sting out.
