Tis the season…for mosquitos, that is. Seems I can’t set a toe outside right now without getting bit by something or other. But at least I no longer have to deal with the itching, scratching and expensive itch creams that don’t really work. A friend told us about this remedy when my husband and I were in Florida recently…

I love when it’s this simple – just press the back of a hot spoon (but not hot enough to burn yourself!) to your mosquito bite for a minute or two and voila! No more itch.

I’ve been heating up a small amount of water on the stove and quickly dunking the spoon so I don’t have to run the tap waiting for it to warm up. Read about it on LifeHacker.
