How can I treat my mosquito bites?

Homemade Mosquito Remedies

I recently took a poll of what people do to help relieve the itch of mosquitos. Here are some of the remedies I got to relieve the itch:

* Make an "X" on the bite with your fingernail
* Try putting Colgate toothpaste on the bite (must be a white paste - not a gel)
* Make a pasty mixture of baking soda and water and placing it on the bite.
* Make a paste of meat tenderizer and water.
* Put some Tea Tree oil on the bite
* Clean area with rubbing alcohol and then rub benedryl cream on bites
