1. Find a metal spoon.
Grab a metal spoon from your kitchen. Ensure it is clean before using it on your skin.
2. Heat the spoon.
Place the spoon in hot water for about 30 seconds. Be cautious not to make it too hot to prevent burns.
3. Press the spoon on the bite.
Once the spoon is heated, gently press it against the mosquito bite for approximately 10-15 seconds. The heat helps neutralize the proteins that cause the itchy sensation.
4. Feel the relief.
After pressing the heated spoon on the bite, you should notice a significant decrease in itching, providing quick and lasting relief.
Why it works:
The heat from the spoon denatures the proteins injected by the mosquito, which are responsible for the itch. This simple yet effective method alleviates the discomfort without requiring any creams, sprays, or medications.
Now that you know my dad’s trick to stop mosquito bites, you can enjoy your time outdoors without the persistent annoyance of itching. This remedy is not only quick and efficient but also safe and free from side effects. Try it the next time you’re bitten, and experience relief in just one minute!
