Turmeric

My daughter asked what to do for her son. He had some mosquito bites and he was scratching them until they bled. He is a toddler.
I suggested turmeric powder. She gave him 1/8-1/4 teaspoon once or twice a day mixed into food. (Yogurt, chili, whatever.) She said it worked wonderfully. This wasn't placebo as he was too young to even know he was taking it.
A bonus is that turmeric is a good remedy for infection and can help open bites from getting infected.
