The Power of Lemon Against Mosquitoes
Lemon is more than just a kitchen staple. Known for its degreasing and polishing properties, lemon also shines as a natural remedy for mosquito bites and a powerful insect repellent.
While many commercial anti-itch remedies like herbal products, ammonia solutions, and cortisone creams are available, they often come with side effects such as allergies or skin irritation. Instead of relying on these, consider natural alternatives like lemon.
Why Lemon Works
Anti-Inflammatory: Lemon helps reduce swelling and soothe mosquito bites when applied directly.
Natural Repellent: When mixed with vinegar, lemon’s strong scent drives mosquitoes away due to their aversion to this powerful combination.
