Coconut Oil and Bug Bites
The next time you get bit by fire ants, mosquitos or just about any bug, you may consider rubbing coconut oil on the affected area of skin. Putting coconut oil on bug bites:
- lessens the overall skin irritation
- stops itching and burning
- reduces swelling immediately
- minmizes the bite and heals the skin in a lot less time
Coconut oil has a multitude of uses but is particularly great at calming but bites. Nothing else appears to work as quickly or as effectively as coconut oil.
