Enjoying the summer outdoors is all good until those warm summer nights become a nightmare thanks to a foot full of mosquito bites.

Luckily, you don’t need to run to the all-night pharmacy for relief anymore thanks to this incredibly easy DIY tip from Shep McAllister at Lifehacker.

All you have to do is heat up a metal spoon under hot tap water for a minute or so, then press it directly against the bite. Hold it tight against your skin for a couple of minutes, and when you take it off, the itch should be gone for good.

As for being gone for good, we’re assuming your water has to be running pretty hot, a luxury not everyone (including this writer) enjoys, but it will let you get a few hours of shut-eye until the store down the street opens.
