Thyme

Thyme plant leaves are great on potatoes, seafood, and other dishes. They may also assist to relieve the irritation caused by a mosquito bite. Thyme has long been used as a natural cure for skin problems. Because it has antibacterial characteristics, it can help lower your chances of irritating and infecting the skin around a mosquito bite. To maximize the benefits of thyme, coarsely mince the fresh leaves. Apply the leaves immediately to the bite and keep them on for 10 minutes.

Bring water to a boil and add several sprigs of thyme to form a concentrated liquid. Allow the sprigs to soak in the water until it has cooled. Then, soak a washcloth in the thyme-infused water and dab it on the bites. Allow the washcloth to sit for a few minutes. Wrap a thyme-soaked towel over an ice cube for an added chilling effect.
