Drinking Coffee Relieves Itching From Mosquito Bites
I discovered this by accident that drinking a cup of coffee soon after being bitten by mosquitos, relieves the itching from mosquito bites. On Wednesday I received a lot of mosquito bites, everywhere. It was a hot night so I decided to stop by Starbucks for a coffee. After finishing my coffee I noticed my mosquito bites were not itching anymore.
Well on Thursday I got bitten again a lot and on almost every part of my body by those voracious little buggers! The itching was almost unbearable so I decided to give my theory and observation a try. I drank a cup of coffee again and guess what, the itching disappeared! Sure the bites are still there but the itching is not.
So I have to wonder, is it the caffeine in the coffee that puts an end to the itching or relieves the itching or is it some other ingredient in the coffee?
I put a brief blurb about this helpful health tip on my Twitter page, but since Twitter is so very limited in what you can say, I had to elaborate it here in more detail on my blog.
