Although Summer is nearing to an end, there's still pleanty of opportunities to get bit my a mosquito or stumble into some poison ivy.At Happier Human, we happened to stumble upon an interesting solution to help remedy the itch.
In Whitson Gordon's Reddit review at LifeHacker.com, he states:
"If you get bitten by a mosquito or stumble into a bit of poison ivy/oak/sumac/whatever, rubbing a banana peel on the affected area can moisturize and neutralize some of the itching. Note that it will just alleviate some of the itching—it won't solve the root problem, like the oils that poison plants leave on your skin. It'll do great as a first step, but if you really want to knock out that rash, you should head to the store and grab some poison ivy soap."
