Bed Bug Bite Natural Remedies
Cold compresses can help just after the bite
Cold compresses can help just after the bite. You should use a cold compress for the first 24-48 hours, and then switch to warm compresses for another 48 hours if needed.
You can also use aloe vera gel or tea tree oil on the itchiness, but not too much, as it will dry out your skin and make it worse. Avoid using heat packs or heating pads because this may make things worse (because heat opens up pores in your skin).
Dr. Merlino on aloe vera
A natural remedy for bed bug bites is aloe vera. Aloe vera is a succulent plant that grows in many areas around the world. The plant produces leaves with a gel-like substance inside, which can be used as an ointment or salve to treat wounds on the skin. When applied topically, aloe vera may help to soothe itching and inflammation associated with insect bites, such as those caused by bed bugs.
While there have not been any studies specifically focused on using aloe vera for treating bed bug bites, some research has shown that this remedy can be effective for reducing pain and inflammation associated with minor burns and scrapes (1). This indicates that aloe vera might also work well for treating itchiness from bug bites, but more research is needed before definitive conclusions about its uses can be made.
If you want to try using aloe vera on your own skin after being bitten by a bedbug or other insect pest (such as mosquitoes), it’s important to keep these things in mind:
Beyond Treating Bed Bugs, The Environmental Protection Agency Recommends a Few Ways to Keep Bed Bugs Out of Your Life
Beyond treating bed bugs, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends a few ways to keep bed bugs out of your life.
- Bed Bug Prevention: How to Avoid Bed Bugs
- Avoid staying in rooms with bed bug infestations, if possible, especially if you will be sleeping in that room.
- Check second-hand furniture, beds, or couches for any signs of bed bug infestation before bringing them home. If you do bring home used furniture or mattresses, seal these items in plastic bags and place them in an outdoor garbage container immediately after you remove them from the vehicle (or building).
Remove clutter around the bed and use light colors on walls so that you can easily spot any blood stains left by a recent bite wound caused by an insect bite or other injury sustained while sleeping on the mattress itself; this helps identify which insects are present as well as their locations within your home/workplace environment so they can be effectively removed before they multiply into large numbers which could result in more severe health problems than just itching sensations when bitten by one such insect species known as “crane flies” due to their appearance resembling cranes’ heads when viewed from above according
Temperatures below freezing can kill bed bugs
If you cannot wash your clothing, you can also place it in the freezer. Bed bugs will die in temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit for four days or longer. This method may not be as reliable as heat treatment, but it is still helpful if you do not have access to a clothes dryer or washer/dryer machine.
You should also make sure that your freezer is working properly before using this method of killing bed bugs on clothes. If your freezer does not maintain at least -18 degrees Celsius (-0.4° F), then it will not be able to kill all of the pests in your clothing.[1] If you are using a chest style refrigerator/freezer, then move as much food out of it as possible so that there is more room for items being treated with heat.[2]
If you are using a regular household type of refrigerator/freezer, then make sure that no one opens its doors while any items within them are being heated; otherwise they may become ruined by moisture loss and condensation buildup.[3]
All natural remedies are not created equal.
All natural remedies are not created equal. In the same way that some prescription drugs can interact with one another, some natural remedies may also have negative reactions with certain medications and supplements.
For example, many people turn to senna leaf for relief from constipation or as part of a detox regimen. However, you should be aware that senna leaf has been linked to liver damage in studies conducted on animals, so it’s better to avoid using this herb if you’re taking any other medications that could possibly negatively interact with it.
Always consult your doctor before beginning any type of treatment plan—whether it’s conventional or alternative medicine—to ensure that all ingredients are safe for consumption by your body and that there are no potential side effects from combining them with other drugs or supplements.[20]
