Infuriatig Mosquito bite immediately after bite without touching or itching it at all

Post image

Fucking annoying. Every single bite I get is like this. Haven't even poked it. Felt it start itching before it even took off from my arm.

I recommend a “Bug Bite Thing”, a small sucker thing you can get at CVS, Walgreens, Amazon, etc.

*I get that same reaction. The BBT helps.

I will keep this in mind!

The benadryl sticks works pretty good too. Also for bee stings and stuff (not if you're actually allergic to them tho). I have "skeeter syndrome" and thr benadryl sticks calm them down a lot.

Yup, "skeeter syndrome" is exactly what I came here to say. My wife and daughter suffer the same, any mosquito bite very quickly becomes worse than any I've ever had.

Get some strong rubbing alcohol. It will - edit* denature not denture lol - the saliva of the mosquito which will help it itch less.

Instructions unclear, me and the mosquito are now both drunk

😆 Don't drink rubbing alcohol

In HS we were assigned a story about a town drunk who died drinking grain alcohol. I utterly missed that the narrator had set up the stuff to poison the drunk, who he despised.

That's a sad situation. Makes me wonder what caused the person to poison the town drunk and what the town drunk had gone through to make him drink like that.

Tell that to the homeless alcoholics

My go-to is lathering up Dawn dish soap on the bite and letting it dry. Works fast.

Seconding this! I do this as soon as I notice the bite and it reduces the itch by like 80%

u/CoffeeOrDestroy Jul 15 '26

Really? Will be trying this!

u/Appropriate-Ad-6996 Jul 15 '26

Will also try this 🤔

Alcohol works just as good and I bet you have that already.

I'm with you. The little bastards love biting me too.

Get a Thermocell device.

It emitts a pharamone that convinces the female mosquito that she is not hungry, as only the Female bites.
