Warnings & Information
Use Ledum palustre prior to exposure to decrease the swelling and itching and Calendula Gel after exposure to relieve itching. Do not scratch the wound to avoid superinfection. If a mosquito bite seems to be associated with more serious symptoms, such as fever, severe headache, body aches, nausea and vomiting, see a doctor. These symptoms may indicate West Nile fever or malaria--if you live or travel in an area in which malaria is endemic--or another infection.
