Bite Away Electronic Bug Bite Treatment for Mosquito Bites, Made in Germany

Bite Away is an electronic device designed for the symptomatic treatment of itching, pain, and swelling caused by insect stings and bites. Unlike chemical-based solutions, this device works solely through the application of concentrated heat to a small, localized area of the skin. This localized pulse of heat can trigger a natural response from the body that reduces the irritation, itchiness, and swelling associated with bug bites.

The device features intelligent temperature control, managed by a microcontroller that regulates the temperature via a sensor near the heating element. The software acts as a 'watchdog' to ensure the temperature never exceeds the maximum of 53°C (127.4°F). Additionally, Bite Away has an independent 'shut-down' mechanism intended to cut power in the event of a non-normal situation, such as a microcontroller failure to manage the heating element properly. As a third layer of safety, the device also includes a melt fuse, which will disable the unit in the extremely unlikely event that the first two safety measures fail.

For best results, Bite Away should be applied immediately after the sting or bite occurs, as this can often prevent symptoms altogether. Using the device shortly after contact with an insect can also help alleviate symptoms more quickly. Continued use is recommended until the symptoms have fully subsided, but users should allow for at least a 2-minute interval between each application on the same insect sting or bite.

Bite Away is effective against insect stings and bites from mosquitoes, bees, wasps, and ants. However, it is not designed to treat venom from spiders, scorpions, or snakes, nor is it proven to work on acne. It's important to note that while all bugs belong to the biological phylum Hemiptera, not all insects are classified as bugs.

When using Bite Away, users may initially experience some discomfort or a stinging sensation, as the device reaches an average temperature of 124°F. This temperature, however, is well below the 175-185°F range typically found in a cup of coffee, and it is not hot enough to burn or damage the skin when used as directed.

Insect bites and stings often trigger symptoms due to the saliva or venom left behind in the skin by the offending insect. This can lead to itching, irritation, and in the case of wasp and bee stings, a burning sensation. The body's immune system response to these foreign substances also contributes to the swelling, irritation, and pain experienced.

By safely heating the affected area to 124°F, Bite Away can provide relief from the itching, pain, and swelling associated with bug bites in a matter of seconds. This localized heat treatment triggers a natural bodily response that helps reduce the unpleasant symptoms, with the swelling typically subsiding within a few minutes.
