Liquid bandage isn’t for insect bites .. use an ice cube or isopropyl alcohol to help them heal

You can also use tequila alcohol. If you drink enough, you don't feel any itch

Had me in the first half. And the second. Third too.

I drank the tequila.

it's protein based saliva then you need heat to destroy it, the cooling only helps with the itching

The main reason I covered them was because I kept picking and scratching at them. I should've figured I'd get a reaction since regular bandaids also give me a rash.

Why would you put liquid bandage on it?

To stop me from picking the bites. It has helped me before, but I've only used store brand. This was name brand new skin. It works too well. 🤷

Take a spoon. Make it very hot, not hot enough to burn but very hot. Hold the spoon on the bite until it cools. Repeat if needed.

I use a hairdryer, hold it over the bite for 4-5 seconds (that’s when it starts to hurt) and stop. Might have to do it a couple times bur it works

We used to used mom’s clear nail polish back in the day. My older brother and I would take turned dabbing each other’s backs in the summer.

Almost the same thing as liquid bandage. Nail polish might be thicker.

Well, that backfired spectacularly. 😂

You're probably not, it just didn't do anything for the bites since that's..not at all what it's for. There's no indication the liquid bandage is causing any reaction at all (why would it only be affecting the bites?).
