For mosquito bites, I thought hot water was recommended and effective?

Because virtually nobody is allergic to mosquito bites. Accelerating the blood flow/metabolism of someone maybe at risk for anaphylaxis (bee allergy) is extremely dangerous.

It's effective, yes.

But when you have more than a few bites, you probably will not want to do that. Even more if you feel them a lot, and if you are not used to have lots of mosquito bites on you.
