Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Hi I found this very interesting. <<<<HOME REMEDY FOR MOSQUITO BITES By Cathy L The best thing to use for Mosquito Bites is banana peels. Just rub the bite with the inside of the peel. The itch will stop immediately. I always keep them in the freezer, so they are always available. All the grandchildren are amazed at how quick this remedy works. When they do get a bite, they always come running and ask me for the banana peel from the freezer. They know I always keep them on hand. Why pay a high price for over-the-counter ointments and sprays for bug bites? You can have instant relief from a simple banana peel that ordinarily would have been thrown in the trash. Try this, it really works.>>>> Wish I had time to research it because a commercial " cure " for psoriasis, using the banana skin (I think the skin) is/was marketed in the UK. So what's in the banana skin that (seemingly!) has such affiliation to the human skin? Just rubbing psoriasis with banana skin doesn't work by the way.....so is the connection between psoriasis (excessively fast skin cell production) and the skins reaction to the mosquito sting? Always though mosquito bites produced a massive histamine reaction - but that's not the case with psoriasis....hummm (thinking as I write)...will have to go on the " back burner " for now. Unless anyone has any info on this that would help save my brain cells? Love Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
