Bug Bites... Again

Okay, so I know I already posted about bug bites once already but this time it's about my own bug bites and not someone elses. 

A few days ago I was standing outside for only about 20 minutes and I got 15 bug bites on one foot. The next day after going for a walk, and not receiving any bites at all, we stopped to help my neighbor for 5 minutes and I got 9 bug bites on one leg... The leg opposite of the one with the bug bites on my foot. And now last night I got some more bug bites on my lower back. 

As I think I mentioned in previous posts, Shane and I are health nuts and we don't like any kind of chemicals to go in or around our body. So as you can imagine I have been looking for different remedies for the constant itching the bug bites are causing. So far I have tried and had mild success with bentonite clay, lemon juice and aloe vera. Nothing so far has actually made the itching stop completely but I'm not going to give up on my search. 

Any one have any suggestions for a natural relief to bug bites? Please leave them in the comments below if you do (:

 
This is what my foot looked like the morning after the mosquito attack. I guess that's what you get when you're healthy and live in the state where the mosquito is the state bird!
