Home Made Bug Bite Solution

Now that summer is almost here and the pesky bugs are already on the move, it is time to reach for some handy bug bite relief.  I was looking at the price of some brand name bug bite products and was not impressed by the price.  By the time you buy sunscreen, bug repellent, after bite, polysporin, band aids and Benadryl your wallet will be short at least $50.00.  The prices of these products seem to increase every year.  I am going to share a homemade bug bite solution for you and your children to use safely with no added questionable ingredients, not to mention you may already have these products in your cupboard.

BUG BITE SOLUTION:

4 teaspoons baking soda
2 drops of tea tree oil
4 capsules of vitamin E (Not including capsule)
3 teaspoons water

You may have to use less or more water depending on the consistency you are looking for, you want something that will stay on your skin and not run off.

Note:  Not everyone has tea tree oil or even vitamin E at home so just make the recipe without those ingredients and it will still relieve the itch of bug bites.  Vitamin E just adds that extra moisturizing effect. The tea tree oil is an antiseptic but you could clean the skin before applying the baking soda mixture.
