Someone I know....heard that putting clear nail polish on bug bites will help them from itching....we don't have any clear polish so someone is very colorful right now (but not itching).
My nearly-5-year-old paints her nails just about every day, though she also ends up painting all of her feet and most of her hands in the process. No bug bites there, I can tell you. And no itching. :-)
It's a wives tale that painting nail polish over chigger bites will suffocate them, and if they die the itching will stop. I don't think it actually works, but it's worth a try. They make a substamce called "chigger-rid" for the same purpose.
But it won't work for bug bites where the bug isn't actually under your skin.
Here's a blog about life as a parent, spouse, and active (yet sleep-deprived) human being. I also write about topics related to early childhood education and fitness. You will also find parenting ideas and topics, recipes, media reviews, and community information about Central Illinois.
I am a stay-home mom/now-preschool teacher/fitness instructor/personal trainer with a background in child development and special education...I live with a wonderful paramedic/event planner/home improvement hubby and four nutty but lovable kids, baby, 6, 8, 15yo! We love to eat chocolate, dance, and make music as we live our frugal and liberal lives.

I'd love to say that it was one of the kids...

He said it actually helped. I only got a couple bites but the rest of the fam who was rolling in the grass are covered.
