Aloe vera works, especially when you have a plant and get some fresh sap from it.

You know, dandelion works too. Of course the dandelions are not always available.
Pick a dandelion, cut or rip the stem open and use the same from inside the stem on bug bites. 
It works, man!

I live in a place with too many bugs.
In case someone is interested, here are some natural remedies for bug bites.

- Cold compress: 
You can apply a cold compress or ice pack to the affected area for 10-15 minutes at a time. 
This can help reduce swelling and numb the area.

- Baking soda paste: 
Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with a little bit of water to form a paste. 
Apply the paste to the bite and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off. 
Baking soda has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe the itch.

- Aloe vera gel: 
Apply aloe vera gel directly to the bite. 
Aloe vera has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and itching.

- Honey: 
Apply a small amount of honey to the bite. 
Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help promote healing.
