Some bite relief

A colleague spent the weekend camping not too far from home. While she enjoyed the break, she was less than happy with the number of midge bites she discovered on her return.

Do any readers have a foolproof way of calming down the itch that these bites cause? What do you turn to if you fall victim to “midgies”?

Prevention may be better than cure, but it’s too late for that! However, tips for the next trip are also welcome.
