Curing Itching

So I woke up about an hour and a half ago to find that I had a shit load of spider bites/bug bites or something around my body and it itched like fucking crazy. I tried some itching cream, lotions, and a couple of other random products around my house that claim to cure itching only to find that they don't do shit.

After a while I got some impulse to start boiling some water, then once it started simmering I took a cup and just started pouring scalding hot water over the bug bites (not enough to actually scald, but just enough to feel the burn).

That was about 30 minutes ago and so far I feel absolutely no itching So if you ever run into the same problem as me just trying pouring hot water on yourself, maybe it'll work.

Quite certain, don't feel any pain at all. Got kind of paranoid that I might've burned away my nerve endings or something, but I touched myself to make sure and everything's fine.

You could have used alcohol instead.

Oh, now I get it. To avoid itching, just touch yourself without the risks of touching others.

You should import some Japanese bug bite cream.
It's easier not to.

pfft, cost of buying/importing cream from a foreign country < plain everyday hot water.

and I never tried alcohol for bug bites for some reason, I'll keep that in mind next time.

I forget which bugs it is, but some of them you can just wash with warm water and soap and it'll clean it (dirty bugs cause the itching). I think spiders and stuff that leave toxins are the only ones that you can't do this with.
So the really hot water probably worked like the soap/water.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
