Summertime brings mosquitoes and itchy bites, but don't let them ruin your plans. Here's how to prevent and treat mosquito bites.
Symptoms of mosquito bites:
• Itchy, red bumps on the skin
• Swelling, pain, and redness around the bite
• Some people may have more severe reactions known as "Skeeter syndrome," with inflammation and fever. Seek medical help if you experience severe symptoms like headaches, fever, or trouble breathing.
Treating mosquito bites:
1. Clean the bite with soap and water to prevent infection.
2. Apply ice to reduce swelling and itching temporarily.
3. Use over-the-counter ointments and creams to relieve itchiness.
4. Avoid scratching the bite to prevent increased histamine response and possible skin infections.
5. Antihistamines, anti-inflammatories, or hydrocortisone cream can help relieve symptoms.
6. If there are signs of infection, consult a doctor for antibiotics.
Preventing mosquito bites:
1. Use insect repellents with at least 20% DEET.
2. Remove standing water around your home to eliminate breeding grounds.
3. Dump out water from flowerpots, tarps, and baby pools.
4. Screen windows and doors, and repair any tears in screens.
5. Avoid wearing sweet-smelling perfumes, colognes, and dark colors.
6. Minimize outdoor activities during dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
7. Consult a licensed pest control professional for persistent mosquito problems.
