This also works on other skin irritations! I didn’t have any insect bites available to try this on, but I had a very irritated area on my ring finger, under the spot where my wedding set (wide band) rests - (this usually happens in the winter and when I have my hands in water often). This "honey salve" actually relieved the itching. Later I applied some thick cream, and my finger is on its way back to normal (I also gave myself a break from the rings). Thanks Rita! I'll remember this for the summer when the bugs are out, too!

(wow those are long reviews!) Just popped in to say a heartfelt thank you to you Rita! I developed odd rashes on my thighs recently and they were itching like mad! I used 1 tsp of baking soda to 1 tsp of honey and olive oil each, and swiped it onto my rash. I must say that it has stopped itching, and looks less swollen! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D
