With temperatures rising, mosquitoes are everywhere, in the countryside, in big cities and small towns alike. Who hasn't woken up in the middle of the night after an unbearable mosquito bite? You might say, there are already products to soothe mosquito bites and reduce the inflammation caused by their "venom." But if, like me, you have sensitive skin that reacts badly to the topical pharmaceutical products on the market, I recommend CBD oil.
How does CBD (cannabidiol) oil work on mosquito bites?
When we are bitten by a mosquito, inflammation occurs at the site of the bite, and the skin appears red, swollen, and intensely itchy. Cannabinoids, particularly CBD, have a strong anti-inflammatory effect and are very effective in reducing, or even stopping, the itching that occurs after a mosquito bite.
Applying CBD oil to the "attacked" area will accelerate communication between the cells and the epidermis of the skin and reduce the swelling and burning sensation that occur after a sting.
CBD oil, applied topically, will have the following effects:
- To soothe the itching,
- To soothe irritations,
- Reduce inflammation locally.
Advantages of CBD oil compared to other soothing products for insect bites:
Cannabidiol oil, particularly that made from hemp oil, is a natural product. Without the addition of other chemicals, you can use it without any particular contraindications and as often as needed.
Healthy, its anti-inflammatory effect is almost instantaneous! Apply one or two drops to the affected area and massage gently.

Let's now look at the problem, and the reason for mosquito bites:
Today, it is well known that only female mosquitoes bite. They bite in order to suck our blood, which is rich in proteins essential for the successful production and development of mosquito eggs. Since mosquitoes never know when they will manage to come into contact with a potential human host, they take their "meal" very seriously! In a single feeding session, they can consume up to three times their body weight in human blood.
They don't focus solely on humans; we've observed that the more testosterone an "animal" has, the more "appetizing" it is to female mosquitoes. Also, dogs, for example, are more likely to be bitten than a child, if the mosquito has a choice between the two.
Other tips to keep mosquitoes away
We tested the lemon and clove trick. And we 100% approve. A small bowl, half a lemon, and a few cloves stuck in it.
Another tip is to get a citronella plant and place it in your living room. The citrus scent will repel mosquitoes from the room.
