bite away - The Original Electronic Bug bite Treatment for Mosquito Bites, Made in Germany. Without Chemicals - Treatment by Heat, up to 300 Applications Possible with The First Set of Batteries

This really works! I suffer with bug bite itching and topical medications that do not take away the itch much or for very long when it does work. I have used this heat tool on multiple mosquito bites with great success! Of course it stings with the heat, but it is not unbearable on 3 second increment of time. By end of 3 seconds I register an oh oww and then it is done with immense relief to itching, therefore worth it for a second or 2 of oh owww! (I am one of the less tolerant types of personalities for pain management and I am able to tolerate the heat of this tool.) It soothes and takes away the itching from the bite completely...sometimes on the 1st time of applying heat with no returning itch if gotten to quickly after the bite. Top use for me has been 5 times of use per bite with 2 minutes wait between to obtain no more itching. Itching does not return on the ones I have stuck with it every two minutes until the itching and pain stops when I didn't get to it right after bitten. I have very sensitive skin and this bug bite tool does not leave any blistering of my skin. Immense relief. This is incredible to have! I would caution to not use on a bite you have already scratched the skin off of some as it definitely hurts more and is not really intended to use once the bite is open from scratching really hard. The instruction booklet it comes with is very detailed. Definitely read all of the instructions for proper use. It is sooo worth my lack of incessant itching and burning sensations in reaction to mosquito bites. Cannot say how it works for a sting from a bee or wasp as I fortunately have not had one happen. Looking forward to trying on vacations to places I go with no see-ums with bites that are unavoidable, also! It will make a much more pleasant outdoor experience knowing I will get bites and now have a tool that gives relief without topical medication or even an antihistamine by mouth needed. This is perfect for those times as humans we are particularly tasty to insects flying about us!

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would!!! It's amazing!!! So a few years ago I ordered this thinking it was one of those gadgets that suck the poison out of the mosquito bites but was somehow electronic. I put it in my bathroom and then just kinda forgot about it until earlier this summer I had a mosquito bite that was really bad so I broke this thing out and was surprised that it wasn't a sucker. And for context, I get eaten alive by mosquitoes every year. If there was 100 people outside with me, no one would get bitten by a single mosquito because they are all covering my entire body. It's horrible and I always look like I have chickenpox because I'm covered everywhere with red bumps. I have a hard time sleeping too because I will be scratching bumps in my sleep and going crazy! But anyway, I thought well it's too late to return it so I might as well see if it will at least help. I read over the instructions and got kinda scared when it said the ceramic plate heats up to roughly 124°. I was like omg it's gonna burn it??? I was tempted to not do it, but it was itching soooo bad!!! At this point I would of agreed to anything if there was a small chance it would help, even if only for a short period of time. So the way it works: there is a small round ceramic disk at the tip of it and you put the ceramic disk over your bump, lining it up as best as possible. One button (left button) is for 3 seconds and the other button (right button) is for 5 seconds. You decide which one you want to try but the instructions say to start off with the 3 seconds first and after waiting 2 minutes you can do another round if need be. You hold the plate against the bump and press (don't hold the button, just press it and release) and it will start heating up. Once it has reached 124° a green light comes on and the timer starts from there. Once it's finished the light will go off and it will beep to let you know it's done and it will start cooling off. Instantly my bite doesn't itch at all!!! There have been a few times that I had to do a second round but it's mostly because I'm allergic to mosquito bites so my bumps swell up really big and sometimes the plate isn't big enough to cover all of it so there might be some itching on the parts that didn't get touched by the plate, but it's not often that I have had to do that because most of the time even if it didn't touch that part, it still did not itch afterwards. It does sting a little from the heat but honestly it feels soooo good when it's itching so bad. It's like the device is reaching inside and scratching it lol. When I was reading the instructions I thought well, anyone can take anything for 3 seconds right? But honestly it feels nice. I am very heat intolerant too... like I'll start sweating in a room that is 70° if that says anything about my heat intolerances. But this is actually soothing for the bump. Most bumps I can hit it for the 3 seconds and it will never itch again at all. A few times I had to hit it again about 12 hours later but it's rare. You can rub the bump and absolutely no itching. It's amazing I'm telling you... I want to buy a bunch of these to give as gifts!!! Oh and added benefit, it has decreased my heal time too. Within a few days it's healed and gone. I don't know what kind of sorcery this gadget is but I never want live in a world without it ever again!!! The only bad thing I can say is it's hard to put the plate on spots that aren't flat. Like the hamstrings behind the knees, or the Achilles tendent. And it can be hard to get certain spots on the outside of the leg so I get someone else to help me when it's a hard to reach place. Also it's doesn't say to do this or to not do it but I press the plate hard into the bump. Like I want it to make the best connection with the skin and really get deep inside the bump. Again, it feels so good when it's been itching so bad. I need like 10 more of these so I can literally have one for my purse, bedroom for if I wake up itchy, and some extra to give out. It really is that amazing!!!

Ok so it works. I was as skeptical as possible, even after an application or two, but it's pretty clear at this point going into 2 months of ownership and probably 50-60 mosquito bites later that it objectively works. It's not 100% effective but most of the time it is and, when it works, the bites either disappear entirely or at least calm down in appearance and lose the attention grabbing itchiness. I think the key is hitting them hard and fast, right away. Get inside the house, let your spouse judge you as you aggressively pin down every last one of them, and give yourself relief. If you try to get one that's older, your miles may vary. I'm sure there's a reason why that might be, maybe the demon protein has already established itself to our immune system at that point. I'm literally typing this review up after I just got annihilated outside with 20 bites in 25 mins, my ankles and calves were absolutely on fire with itchiness, and now I don't really feel anything. But yes I'll probably clap back at a few of them just to be extra certain that they are dead. But the reason I'm only giving 4 stars is that the heat in this thing is extremely inconsistent. Mine either doesn't heat up enough or it heats up entirely too much and feels like its actually burning me at a temp way above spec. Sometimes it hits in the range that seems appropriate, where it's just a slightly more than mildish satisfying sting, but other times I'm thinking it's going to cause a blister. It's very weird, and inappropriate, for a supposed medical device to be completely unpredictable in terms of the temperature of the device when it makes contact with your skin.

I had my doubts when I ordered this as I have tried so many items for bug bite relief, BUT it really does work! It does get hot but only for a second. (Certainly not hot enough to burn you) When I vacation in the Caribbean I get bitten and the bites itch like crazy......not anymore! I heard about this product from a fellow vacationer who was kind enough to lend it to me at the resort, I immediately came home and purchased one.

Best product for bites. Even converted my stubborn husband. Ordered 5.

No more itching… worth every penny!

Es una maravilla de aparato. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para llevar a lugares donde haya mucho mosquito quieta el dolor y comezón en segundos.

This is the second time I have bought this device and each time the contact is loose - absolutely bad and not recommended
