Soak in the bath for 15–20 minutes.

Pat skin dry gently afterward.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the bite using a cotton swab.

Let it dry naturally.

Use only indoors and avoid sun exposure, as lemon juice can make skin photosensitive.

Not recommended for broken skin due to stinging.

How to use:

Crush 1–2 garlic cloves and mix with a bit of coconut oil to reduce skin irritation.

Apply a small amount to the bite and leave on for 5–10 minutes.
