    There is a traditional method here, but it's kind of digusting, as you need to use your own urine and sprinkle on the wound...

    Ok, maybe you would like to pour some battery acid on the wound and rub it gently with steel wool...

    By the way, battery acid also known as Sulfuric acid!

    I have always heard to clean the wound with a disinfectant then rub baking soda on the wound.

    Go to your doctor and get an anti-inflammatory. The itching is caused by swelling from the toxin, it will go down naturally after 1-2 weeks, but several meds can get rid of it within 24 hours. Heck, Aspirin or Tylenol might even do it.
