That's my go-to relief too. Take the spoon out of someone's coffee for extra laziness (ask first though. Avoids weird discussions. Or so I've heard.)
This is the answer. /thread
Doesn’t have to be coffee of course - just get a spoon from hot (not boiling) water. It should be at the temperature where you can juuust stand to have it on your skin. Press and repeat as needed.
It will feel intense - even intensely itchy - for a couple of seconds, then….relief!
Is the relief related to nociception, to inflammation, or to inactivation of the bug saliva?
