The best method to keep bug bites from covering your skin is to avoid the bugs in the first place. If you can’t avoid them totally then using preventative measures mentioned above are the next best idea. Once you do get a bite reaching for over the counter and home remedies that have proven to be effective is the right next step. Don’t fall into some marketing pitch by a company that claims to have the perfect new product when so many have already been shown to work well. This mindset will help you get rid of bites and keep your hard earned money in your pocket.
