Do mosquitoes love you? I know of a few people that are more prone to mosquito bites than the others and if you are one of them you definitely don t like the blisters and itching that follows after the mosquito has sucked some blood out of you. And if these nasty mosquitoes bite your little one, you will do everything you can to save your baby from the mosquito bites. Neem has been used to keep mosquitoes away since a very long time. It was slowly replaced by mosquito coils, then machines with liquids, mosquito repellant creams, the rackets that can be used to kill mosquitoes and so much more.

One of the safest ways is to mosquito-proof your house. Then there are several home remedies you can try to reduce the pain and discomfort caused due to blisters. Next time you or your little one experiences terrible itching or any skin eruptions after a mosquito bite, get a banana. Both banana pulp and banana peels are effective in providing relief from mosquito bites says Geeta Ramesh, Director of Kairali Ayurveda. A study published in the Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry also states that banana peels are an effective home remedy for mosquito bites. Do you know when do dengue mosquitoes bite?

You can apply banana pulp directly on the affected area. The pulp will help soothe the area and prevent itching and any kind of eruption. For using the banana peel, sanitize the area first. Then place the fleshy side of the banana peel on the affected area for 5-10 minutes. Rub the peel occasionally on the skin. This will relieve the itch and dry out your skin.
