I have problems with bug bites also. Walk outside and someone shouts "LUNCH" is here. I use the Off fan this is now available, and it works amazingly well for me. I also keep the citronella scented geraniums on my deck, and when I go out, I crush a few leaves to release the scent, with the added benefit of having the scent on my person. Seems to help. I have used facial mask products and they usually dry and pull out the toxin especially if you put it on asap after the bites. I usually keep a large bottle of aloe with lidocaine available for sunburn, and, because there is lidocaine in it it numbs the bite for temporary relief. Many years ago I found an aerosol called Aloe Ice, I assume it had lidocaine in it. It not only stopped the itching, the welt from the bite completely disaappeared. I never found it locally again. I just did a quick search on Google and something called Aloe Ice is available . Most sunburn products have a numbing agent that seeps to help. I have been taking ceterizine (also known as Zyrtec) for allergies, and it is wonderful for my allergies, but it seems to stop the itching from bug bites, unfortunately it doesn't stop the bug bites. Good Luck.
