I use aloe vera, fresh from the plant in my yard. It's good for burns too.

I've heard honey, oatmeal, tea bags, and the old stand-by, calamine lotion. Since I have aloe plants in my yard, it's easy for me to break a leaf and squish some gel on the bite.

But I'm more for the ounce of prevention.

I planted both Citronella grass and Lemongrass clumps near the entrances to my house. They don't work in February because they are still dormant. The first wave of skeeters come in February around here. By march the grass wakes up.

Before I planted the grass, any evening would have hundreds of those tiny vampires on the screens of my back porch. After the grass, perhaps 2 or 3.

Did you know that the mosquito is the most dangerous animal on Earth? They kill more people per year than any other animal, including other people.
