Meat Tenderizer

I  keep meat tenderizer in my medicine cabinet.  This is a hold over from a former life when I spent a lot of time in the great outdoors.  Meat tenderizer really helps if you have an insect bite that is inflamed and itchy.   I sat outside the other night.  The air was just beautiful. I lit a couple of citronella candles, but did not get the Off Clip On Mosquito Repellent http://www.off.com/en-US/Products/Pages/off-clip-on.aspx?cid=SEM_B_off%20clip%20on_off-us-spr14&sid=SEM_B_289.kw107481e#off-clip-on-mosquito-repellent-refills device out. Mistake.  I had one mosquito bite on my right forearm.  And it has been really bothering me. Tonight, it continued to be really red, looking inflamed, and very itchy.  I went to the medicine cabinet, got out the meat tenderizer, made a paste, and applied it to my arm.  Wow, it seems miraculously, the itching stopped and the redness disappeared. I have flakes of salt on my arm. But that is a small price to pay for the relief I felt immediately!  Duh!
