“What is the best way to treat insect bites in older adults?”
My mother keeps getting bitten by mosquitoes every time she goes out for a walk. She doesn't want to use bug spray because she feels like it's bad for her. What is the best option here?

Have you tried tea tree oil?
The best way is to prevent the bites. I feel they do more harm to her body than putting on bug spray. She can get over-the-counter anti-itch spray with calamine, which will help if she gets bitten.
