1. **First Aid Basics**: If you get bitten, clean the area with soap and water to avoid infection. Then, apply a bit of hydrocortisone cream or an antihistamine if you have it. It helps with the itching and swelling. Don’t scratch it, or it’ll just get worse!

2. **Natural Remedies**: Try using some natural stuff if you’re into that. Aloe vera gel can soothe the bite, or you can dab on some tea tree oil. If you have a cold pack, that can help reduce swelling too. Just keep it cool and chill!
