Find yourself some plantain. We are very fortunate, as our yard is FULL of plantain.
You can chew it up or just rub it between your hands to muck it up really good. Then just rub it on a bug bite. It gives you some temporary relief.
An easy way to identify plantain weeds is via the five parallel veins on their leaves. If you are not in a fit of desperation, you can pull it up from the roots and get some weeding done at the same time. I wouldn't suggest chewing it up, if you use chemicals on your lawn. Of course, if you do, you're probably not one for rubbing weeds on your bug bites, either!
Over-and-out from your favorite pseudo-crunchy gal.

sweet! A little prevention: My husband used to work for a gardener and they would rub lantana leaves on their arms and legs to keep the mosquitos away!
Aloe Vera plants help with assorted owies too! Just break off a piece & wipe the juice on the bug bite, rash, sunburn, or cut. Plus the plants are pretty hardy, requiring little care.
Ok, so I take the plant with the three shiny leaves on it and rub it all over, especially on my lady parts? Well, I'll try anything once...
