Insect bites

1. The venom of insect bites is often protein based and can be denatured with heat. Moxa is used in Chinese medicine for this purpose but you can warm an area which has been bitten with an incense stick, a lit cigar or cigarette as well. Hold the heat source about an inch above the bite and move it in a circle until it feels a little too warm then pull it away for a few seconds and reapply for 10 to 20 minutes, be careful not to burn yourself.

2. Another remedy is to moisten tobacco and place it as a poultice on a bite. You can put it under a band aid.

3. A rural Kentucky remedy is diced fresh onion to draw the poison out of a bite, this can also be placed under a band aid.
