Allison, that's what I was talking about up there when I answered Carol in the wee hours of the morning. I just glanced back and saw I wrote 'but bites' instead of bug bites. (Just now fixed that!! - I think I need an editor to follow along behind me.) I didn't know about the lighter thing, but I sure did know about chewing it. And yes it absolutely does work on mosquito bites.
It also works on shin scrapes. Overnight too. (Don't ask how I know this.)
Jmorth, take a look at this blog site:

I just found it this morning and it's full of more information than I gave in the article. You might find it useful too.
