Rubbing alcohol, nail polish, tooth paste, mouth wash, vinegar, deodorant, honey, etc.
Tea? Take a tea bag and make tea, this wont soothe the itch but using the tea bag as a hot compress over the bite will.
Make a Paste.
Salt & water. Vinigar & water. Baking soda & water. Mix together and rub over the bite.Clean yourself.
Have a hot bath with Epsom salts or baking soda. Take a bar of dry soap and rub it over the bite. Apparently this works wonders. Just make sure its dry and your skin is dry.
Then there's the usual:
Calamine lotion, tiger balm, gold bond cream, after bite, vicks vapo rub, orajel, etc.Feeling fruity?
Rub lemon or lime juice into the bite. Id imagine this would sting. Or take a lemon or lime and cut it in half, use it to rub over the itchy bite. This also works with the inside of a banana peel.
I never heard that Orajel works! Makes sense though!
