Having enjoyed a lovely week in Greece, I am now unfortunately covered in mosquito bites. Does anyone have any tried and tested remedies to stop the itching? ?

TIA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEET

Basically anything with a high DEET content is good. Oils and creams are better than sprays though I find.

Can you tell I get bitten ALOT on holidays?! ?

Thanks all - I will go and nurse my wounds with some lemons and take a trip into town tomorrow if they're not better.

I put Tiger Balm on my bites, it soothes the itch loads and helps the swelling go down.

I think I hate mosquitos more than anything in the whole wide world
