PureGard Calm-The-Itch Patches, 12 Pack

Calm-The-Itch Patches are small, colourful stick-on patches for mosquito, black fly and gnat bites. There is nothing medicated in them. Each patch is a flexible, water-resistant stretch cloth that gently lifts the skin at the bite site and covers it, so the bite is less tempting to scratch and little fingers cannot break the skin.

Press one over a fresh bite after a walk in the woods or an evening on the deck, and it stays put through swimming, hiking and the playground. Kids like choosing the colours, which helps end the scratching argument. Unscented and hypoallergenic, with no creams or chemicals, so they are an easy one to keep in the beach bag or first aid kit.
