Ping to another way to deal with itchy bites.
Heh, in a lot of situations where I’d be picking up insect bites, I would ALSO afterward be taking a long hot bath or shower to scrub off all the accumulated, er, whatever(s) from the recent activities... (Dirt, fish, uh, stuff, grass stains, you name it.)
Out IN the woods though, or at camping spots without electricity, about the only option for heat might be to find some hot pavement or exposed ledges in the sun.
It’s a thought...
