15 Natural Treatments for Mosquito Bites | Healthmad

If you have ever lived in the south, then you know the summer nights, as beautiful as they may be, also come with one very annoying pest- the female mosquito.

Your smell, heat, body odor, perspiration, and even exhaled breath all attract this winged pest. She makes an often undetected landing; before you know it, she has stuck her thin proboscis into your skin and began her meal.

Mosquito’s carry many diseases such as, West Nile Virus, that are passed from person to person when they bite you.

You should go to the emergency room or primary caregiver if you experience any of the above symptoms.
