Yellow Fly Bite Remedy

Help!! What is best for yellow fly bite?? I am itching so bad.

This is the only thing I found that works for me, and I have REALLY bad reactions to the little bugger's bite.

Bite and sting relief
Here is a general purpose sting relief for yellow flies. It is also helpful for mosquito, chigger and jellyfish bites.
1 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup ammonia (Windex is mostly ammonia)
1/3 tsp. papain (meat tenderizer)
1 crushed aspirin
Mix thoroughly and store in refrigerator (be sure to label container). When needed, shake well and apply with cotton swab, and rub briskly.

I find that if you simply do not scratch the bite area. Show restraint. It will go away in about a minute. Scratching makes it worse. Honest. Or, at least, it works for me.

Bite off the head of a chicken, rub blood on naked body, dance under a full moon. Works every time.
