4. Heal Itchy Bug Bites and Rashes

The discomfort of a mosquito bite or a brush with poison ivy can be incredibly distracting, but a banana peel can offer quick, cooling relief. Banana peels are rich in polysaccharides, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to a red, itchy area, the peel helps draw out fluid and reduces the swelling and irritation that makes you want to scratch.

Simply press the inside of a fresh peel against the affected area and hold it there for several minutes, or rub it gently over the bite. The cooling sensation provides immediate topical relief, while the natural oils help soothe the skin’s surface. Many hikers and campers keep this trick in their back pocket because it’s a biodegradable, chemical-free way to handle the minor “stings” of being outdoors.
