I have a ton of bug bites right now, and they are ALL in places that I can't scratch when anyone is looking. I even have one on the most sensitive part of my breastfeeding mechanism, if you know what I mean. I didn't even know that was possible until now. I found a bunch of ways to try to stop the itching, although I'm feeling lazy and will probably just stick with my old standby (scratching) for now. Here they are - many of these are remedies you can concoct with ingredients in the pantry (vinegar, baking soda) or bathroom (deodorant, mouthwash):
