Anita Birges has revealed how to get rid of itchy mosquito bites using a mug and spoon
She then showed herself filling a white mug halfway with hot tap water, before placing a metal spoon inside.
She let the spoon sit in the water for a minute before holding it on the bite for five minutes.
Anita explained the hot spoon helps to break down proteins in the mosquitoes saliva, which cause the itch.
She also said the hack should relieve the itch immediately and make it heal faster.
‘Just make sure the spoon is hot enough to do the trick without burning your skin,’ she said.
The video was liked by more thana thousand people, each calling the busy mum a life saver for sharing the hack.
‘I will try this, as I just read to put hot water on jellyfish sting. For same reason to deactivate the jelly fish toxins and reduce pain,’ said another.
The mum said she loves spending time outside but hates the annoying bites
‘Usually roll on deodorant works a treat. But the mozzies this year are feral. Will try this as nothing else is working this year,’ said another.
Others said they have used the trick for years but warned the spoon needs to be very hot for it to work.
A pest controller confirmed the trick works and added a few others to the list.
They said you can soak the bite in oatmeal for 20 minutes to relieve swelling, rub aloe vera on it and even suggest using vinegar and garlic.
