Reply to comment by lawrencebillson in LPT: use hot water to kill mosquito bites by diavolo_bossu

Be careful about this one, in all seriousness. You only need to warm the spoon for a moment. It only takes seconds for a spoon held in a lighter to get hot enough to actually burn you.

Well the hard-won wisdom came from not being smart enough to avoid burning my own dumb ass.

Running the spoon under hot water from the tap will get it right just about every time. The goal is to get the mosquito bite to 125°F.

Yeah that's better than using a lighter, in my opinion, but I didn't wanna just come here and say "don't do that thing."
