Good trick - I use hot water, at hot as I can stand for both bites and poison ivy rashes, trying to minimize exposure beyond the affected area. Really calms it all down for hours after the zing of the hot water.

Also rubbing with salt, vinegar, 70% alcohol. Apple vinegar helped me with a contact allergy I got after walking through some "grass".
