5Home Remedies
You can try several home remedies to alleviate the itching caused by a tick bite. Add a small amount of water to baking soda and mix slowly until it forms a thick paste. Apply it to the bitten area and wait around 1 hour until it dries. After that, you can rinse off with lukewarm water. Another option is to soak a cotton ball with witch hazel or lemon juice. Both of them contain anti-bacterial components that can help prevent infection. Lastly, try applying aloe vera gel to the affected area. It is high in both anti-fungal and antibiotic properties that would prevent an infection caused by scratching. [5]
