An Effective Bug Bite Remedy - Does It Exist?

According to a review published in the April issue of the journal Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, there is little evidence that over-the-counter insect bite remedies actually work. What's more, most reactions to insect bites are mild and don't require any treatment the review found. While antihistamines are widely recommended to ease insect-bite-related itching...there's no proof that this is effective.
