Baking soda

Over the weekend I got a wicked mosquito bite on my foot and it was beginning to swell. Itchy little bastard, too. Yesteryd, my work buddy suggested using baking soda on it! I've never heard of this remedy before, but I had to give it try. Per her instructions, I mixed some baking soda with water until it was a paste. I put that on my foot and let it dry for 5 minutes. Apparently, it sucks out the toxins. Whatever - alls I know is it stopped the itching completely. It's also less swollen - but that could be because I'm no longer scratching it.

I totally recommend it.

And by the way - I haven't played Brain age in 3 days because I want to keep my score of 24 as long as I can. But I think I'm going to cave and play tonight. :)

O my! I gotta try that... I have several mosquito bites right now. I hope they sell baking soda here.
