Mosquito bites after an outside workout?

Try lightly rubbing them with Epsom salts when you shower. I'm highly HIGHLY allergic to the bites and the salts knocked the itch and inflammation right out. No raised welts, no burning-to-the-touch skin, no itching, nothing! Wash your body then rub the bites with the salts, rinse after a minute or two and pat dry.
Good luck and enjoy your next workout, my friends!

Yes, "pat dry" is important because if you rub it, you could spread the venom and make it itch worse, making the bite larger.
This from a T-rex in Texas who gets mosquito bitten like it's back in style.0 -
Thanks! My daughter and I don't venture outside much because we turn in to an all you can eat buffet for mosquito. We'll have to try this.0

i add a little bit of lavender essential oil to my moisturizer and this keeps them from biting in the first place.
lavendar oil is also good after the fact0
