In the midst of a beach party, do you suddenly feel a burning sensation from a mosquito bite? If you don't have an antiseptic cream or anti-itch product on hand, don't worry. Dig through the party supplies and splash some vodka over the bite. The alcoholic component will absorb any kind of "toxins" and at the same time cleanse the bite site.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Apply a generous amount of vodka to the poison ivy burn

1. 1 Water the affected area with vodka immediately after contact with the plant. If possible, wash the burn area with water and non-greasy soap before doing this, but if they are not at hand, go straight to the vodka.
2. 2 Keep the affected area over a sink or absorbent surface (outdoors). Slowly pour vodka over your skin. Do not spare alcohol.
3. 3 Do not blot or dry. Instead, let the vodka soak into your skin and air dry. Do not scratch or touch the treated skin area as it may still be infectious.

Method 2 of 3: Use vodka as a repellent

1. 1 Pour vodka into a small spray bottle before going outside. Use a small bottle to avoid splashing into your eyes while spraying.
2. 2 Sprinkle vodka on your skin in the evening. Don't overdo it, just spray the vodka lightly onto your skin.
3. 3 Leave the vodka to dry on your skin. The rubbing alcohol will act as a natural repellent.
4. 4 Spray directly onto mosquitoes, especially if there are swarms of mosquitoes.

Method 3 of 3: Ease Jellyfish Burn Pain with Vodka

1. 1 Inspect the burn area immediately after contact with the jellyfish. In addition, before you act, try to establish that it was the jellyfish that burned you. For bites and burns from some marine animals, vodka may be ineffective (or even useless).
2. 2 Pat dry the affected area with a towel. The burn site can be rinsed with seawater. Remove dirt or grit from the affected area and carefully examine the area for stinging cells. If you see any stinging cells on your skin, remove them carefully so that no parts of them remain in the skin.
   • You can remove stinging cells with shaving cream or sand. Apply them to your skin and scrape off lightly with a credit card, for example.
3. 3 Pour vodka directly on the damaged area of ​​the skin. Leave the vodka on the surface of your skin. Vodka will not only reduce the burning sensation, but also cleanse the affected area of ​​the skin.

Tips

• Use 50 ° vodka whenever possible for bites and burns. Some experts claim that only this vodka effectively reduces pain and itching.
• Use this method only under adult supervision and then use traditional methods of treating the bite or burn site afterwards.

Warnings

• Get immediate medical attention if you experience breathing problems, any form of dizziness or nausea, or if you develop an allergic rash (or other irritation) on your skin.
