    A traditional way to treat an insect bite here in Germany is with fresh onion. An onion is cut in two halfes. One of them is put to the bite and maybe gently moved, so the fresh juice will come to the skin. It is said to relief ache, to desinfect and to help against swelling. Many people consider this method helpful.
