What is the best way to ease the itching of a bug bite

Using your fingernail, make an X over the dead center of the bite. This will spread out the bite venom faster, thus relieving the itch. Second thing is to use Hydro cortisone creme on the bite.

Don't scratch, scratching the bug bit actually pops the little pockets of venom that makes it itch. Use some hydrocortisone cream and leave it alone. The other alternative is to go buy the cream made for insect bites!

They actually do sell anti-itch bug cream. It might be worth trying (:
