The very best remedy is to avoid the bite in the first place. A reasonable

Good advice! Your energy is best spent on prevention rather than treatment. 
Use common sense ... stay on the trail, don't put your body parts where you 
can't see, listen to the natural sounds around you (forget singing to yourself as 
you hike).

Most bites occur when people do really stupid things. Often when drunk.
Rule No. 1:  Step back from anyone who says, "Hold my beer, Bubba, and watch 
this."
