A randomized;double-blind;placebo-controlled study was conducted to compare the efficacy of ammonium solution with placebo in relieving type I symptoms caused by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes on 25 healthy subjects. Each subject was bitten once under laboratory conditions by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes on the volar aspect of each forearm;and then received the treatment with ammonium solution and placebo;respectively. Compared with placebo;the ammonium solution significantly (p < 0.0001) decreased itching/burning/pain immediate type symptoms from 5 to 90 min. Complete and partial relief of the symptoms was noted in 64% in the ammonium solution group compared to none in the placebo group.Downloads
