I use a hair dryer to blow on the bites until they don’t itch anymore (can feel a bit painful when doing it), but it stops the itching for about 4 to 5 hours.
The reason for this is that the protein that causes the itching denatures at a lower temperature than skin burns.
So if you take anything hot, but not too hot, and hold it against the sting it will help with the itching. You get better results the sooner you do it after the bite though.
