Lavender for mosquito bites

My 3 year old came in from riding his bike to play with some blocks. Soon, he put his leg on my lap & said, 'Mommy it hurts. Scratch it!' He had two HUGE mosquito bites on his outer thigh. Oh no! This is the child who has been known for severe allergic reactions and incurable experiences of hives.

I grabbed the lavender oil & put 2 drops on each bite. He went back to his blocks. As soon as he sat down, he scratched his leg & said, 'Ow.' Then, he got up & went to play on the computer with his sister. It's been 10 minutes and he's still itch free. I believe that he'll be without bites all together by tomorrow. I'll report back tomorrow to be sure. ;)
