I was at an outdoor wedding yesterday and the reception was also outside and I forgot to put bug spray. I was just wondering if you guys have any suggestions to stop them from itching becuase I have 36 in all.

They work.

I've already used some of them beforehand.

Put ammonia or bleach directly on the spot.
Be careful though, if the skin is already torn apart, this will burn like hell!

Oh man i am like fudge to mosquitos, i can't go anywhere without getting mosquito bites...i've come to just get used to the itching, but hydrocortizone seems to be the best in releiving the itching and healing the area...at least for me.

water and baking soda take a ear cleaner stick and stir them until you have a smooth paste like paper machete take the stick out of the mix and rub on bite works better than itch creams that I've tried.
note it wont stop itching immediately but give it 2 or 3 minutes to sink in
you should make a big batch for 32
if you get like 1 or 2 bites i just ignore them and not waste my baking soda

and I forgot to put bug spray

Omgsh I hate bug spray it's gross, instead I use the new mosquitoe reppelling bracelets, they still smell the same, but it's ust on your arm, and it works for me very well, I was in the park for 5 hours and not one bite (:

No, that does not help compared to other solutions.

Well, if you cut off whatever part of your body that has the bite, then it should technically stop itching in that general area.

I recommend to not touch the bites
it itches more if you touch it.

Home Grown Saliva.

Spit a bit on & the itching will stop. It's free also, all you need is water to make sure that stuff keeps on producing.
