I rub alcohol on them. That seems to work! If not, try some salt with a bit (sounds gross) your saliva. My g-ma used to have me do that and it works!

I think I've heard a bath with oatmeal works

Oatmeal..... works really well. Rubbing alcohol might hurt if you've been scratching.

i'm covered in bites (+ sunburn = PAIN!)

if caladryl doesn't work, i use rubbing alcohol.

try making an 'x' with a comb, fingernail, etc on it...sometimes that works for me - an old wives tale but sometimes they work best!
