Q: Quick Relief For Mosquito Bites

Hi everyone,

just wanted to share with all the summer sufferers on how you can get a quick and safe relief from a swollen, itching mosquito bite. Last night I got stung in a knuckle. It immediately went red, swelled up and began to itch like crazy. So I took a couple of sprigs of fresh parsley, squeezed the leaves into a small ball, and attached it to the swelling with a strip of adhesive tape. Went to bed at around 11, woke up at 8 this morning - no swelling, no itch, just normal-looking skin. Use fresh parsley on any part of the body and have a good night's sleep!
