HEALTH TIP
 
Treat mosquito bites
Bitten by one of those pesky little bloodsuckers? Although mosquito bites are itchy, try to avoid scratching. They'll go away on their own. If you need relief in the meantime, apply a hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to the bite. A cold pack or a cool, moist cloth may help, too.
