I don't recommend this as it fights aggressively. I mixed Human Food Grade DE with an ointment and rubbed it in. The itching stopped, but I still had those burn marks for several weeks. Next time I will powder on the DE and see it that works better. I needed the ointment as I still had a lot of outdoor chores back then and I wanted it to adhere.
