this sounds somewhat similar to the only treatment that works for me when i get poison ivy: very hot water right up to the edge of what i can stand. The overload dramatically reduces the itching for several hours.
- tastysandwich 4y agoWow! We don't have poison ivy in Australia, but apparently this works for things like rashes, mosquito bites, etc. I'd never heard of it before. I can't wait to get a rash or something so I can try this. Thanks!
- infecto 4y agoThey even make electric pens for bites. The tip of the pen heats up when you put it on a bite and the itch is gone.
