Toothpaste to the rescue
 

After just returning from a trip to the Canadian north one thing that stands out is the ability of toothpaste to stop the itching and swelling of bug bites. It does't prevent them but if you wake up after sleeping along side the road and your eyes are almost swelled shut from bites.... a liberal application of ordinary toothpaste relives the itch and swelling. Just remember to wash up before stopping for breakfast.

I'm not sure I want to know, but how did you think to try this in the first place? A friend of mine used Preparation H for toothpaste in the dark once, but with far less success.
