I swear by my mother's remedy, taught her by her pest control guy, and I've seen it instantly bring relief to a child whose leg was covered in fire ants. I keep some mixed at all times for ANY insect bite or sting.<br /><br />A pint bottle of rubbing alcohol<br />Dissolve a bottle of white, uncoated aspirin into it<br />An ounce of oil of camphor<br /><br />I never have the camphor so just dissolve aspirin in alcohol and keep in a small bottle; rub on with a cotton ball.<br /><br />Hope this helps! Enjoy your Alaska trip!<br />Martha GinnMartha Ginnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609132014556238098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-90410149474881320252015-08-15T13:25:24.958-04:002015-08-15T13:25:24.958-04:00This is not a quick fix.

I have been taking it daily and hardly ever get bits anymore.

It's supposed to be a muscle pain reliever, so that's where you can find it in the drug store. And I just read somewhere that your blood type is what makes Mosquitos favor certain people over others, but haven't seen scientific proof.Laura McGrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314349729986876724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-79398092900582147352015-08-14T17:46:19.726-04:002015-08-14T17:46:19.726-04:00Years ago I learned in the Philippines to use Vick...Years ago I learned in the Philippines to use Vicks Vaporub on mosquito bites (and other such itches).

I am lucky that they do not like me - something about my body chemistry or tough hide. In North Carolina, we used a product from Avon - I forget the name - but it was quite effective.<br /><br />Enjoy your trip to Alaska.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-23191952983446208882015-08-14T10:53:32.451-04:002015-08-14T10:53:32.451-04:00This is often my story.

I have not yet tried it, but know people who have used it with success. I hope the bugs will not interfere with your wonderful trip.

Don't wear blue - it's been shown to attract Mosquitos. Don't wear scented products - also an attractant.
