Q: Treating Insect Bites

A touch of Listerine on a cotton ball dabbed on the insect bites works wonders for me -- not just mosquitos, either ... works for flea bites, ant bites and redbug bites, too.

Little tip from my wonderful local pharmacist.

I don't know if the Listerine helps the bites go away any quicker, but it sure takes the itch away.
