What to do for Insect Bites: The incidence of insect bites increases a lot during the rainy season. Due to this, swelling occurs in the bitten area of the body. These small pests can be in your bathroom, toilet, room, office, or anywhere. Due to their bite, there is a problem of burning, itching, swelling, or rashes on the body. Maybe someone can escape from this problem during the monsoon season. If you are also facing this kind of problem, then today we are going to tell you some home remedies to deal with it.
What to do if insects bite in the rain
Apply ice to the itchy area
If you get bitten by an insect while taking a bath or while going to the toilet-bathroom, then you should mash a piece of ice at that place. With this remedy, itching and burning on the bitten area calms down. Along with this, it also prevents the poison from mixing in the blood.
Pain relief by rubbing with lemon
You can also rub lemon on the itchy place on Home Remedies for Insect Bites. Lemon contains citric acid, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. Because of this, it provides relief in both itching and burning and the skin also becomes normal as before.
Rub onion when the skin is red
On Ayurvedic Tips for Insect Bites, the skin becomes red in many places. In this case, you rub the onion there. By doing this, the sulfur compound present in onions reduces the effect of insect stings. Due to this both itching and burning are beneficial. You can do this remedy even on a spider bite.
Rub the skin with a knife or key
Whenever an insect bites, they leave its sting on the skin or spreads poisonous substances in the body, causing severe itching, burning, and swelling there. To avoid this, you can rub that place with a key, knife, or something iron. By doing this the swelling reduces and the infection stops.
