I hate mosquitoes with a passion. I'm allergic to mosquito bites so it's so dreadful to even be in their presence.
E: Hot water can help with the itching, but take care not to burn yourself.
I used to use hot water for a reaction to a certain laundry powder when I was a kid. Years later, I happened to mention it to a co-worker, and they said "Oh, why didn't you use antihistamines?", which I wish I'd known about much earlier (they certainly helped with the reactions to the mosquito bites)
Yes, they also help a lot, especially with swelling and inflammation.
