[Gallagher]

when i get a bug bite, i press a nail directly down on it (without breaking the skin) hard enough to leave a mark, usually holding for around 10 seconds or so, then turn my hand and do it again to leave an x on the bite

and like... that's it. i do this when i notice bites and they don't bother me anymore after that. it like, distributes the bug spit and stuff under the skin so it isn't all concentrated and itchy for as long.
