The symptoms of skeeter syndrome can also be calmed by taking a cooling bath without soap. Soap can irritate the area of the bite as well as those areas of the body experiencing swelling and other irritation due to the allergic reaction. However, the cooling effect of water can not only help to calm irritation and diminish itching but can also reduce swelling and pain. Adding milk to the bath provides added benefits. Milk has anti-inflammatory properties and adding it to the bath can help reduce multiple areas of swelling at one time.
