Benadryl cream would be your best bet. Probably won't find the name brand anywhere though, so just any stores generic "Anti-itch" cream.

I just bite the bug back. I have a little itchy bump I can ignore. They're cleaved in half by my teeth. I win.

Soak your feet in urine.

Scratch them until they bleed and then they'll stop itching for a while. If you're lucky the scab can be scratched off for blood up to 5 times.

+1. ...and repped. Sometimes if it itches a bunch I will stick my fingernail into it and make indentations into the skin. It stops itching for awhile.

Or get a lighter and burn the itch away.

I like to douse the foot in gasoline first. Lessens the itch before the flame hits it.

Vagisil might also work. :p

My grandmother always used vinegar with baking soda.

I find tobacco juice works well.

Captain Hindsight is always correct. Applying bug spray before going outside would've worked also.

Turns out one was a hornet sting and that was why the burning was so bad. I had a mild allergic reaction so I had to get a shot tonight.

Once was bitten by about 500 fire ants and literally pissed myself, when it ran down my leg and soaked my feet the pain was gone. This may have been because of the embarrassment that it happened while accepting my diploma at my college graduation ceremony.
