HELPS ALLEVIATE ITCHING + SWELLING FROM BUG BITES AND STINGS

When certain insects bite or sting you, they leave behind their saliva or venom just under the surface of the skin. This may cause your body to react. The Bug Bite Thing is a SUCTION TOOL that extracts the irritant and helps alleviate the itching, stinging and swelling that occurs with bug bites and stings.

For First Aid Only: In the event of an allergic reaction, severe bite, or infection seek medical attention immediately.

• ✅ CHEMICAL-FREE TREATMENT: Bite Away is an electronic device that provides symptomatic relief for bites and stings caused by insects such as mosquitoes, wasps and bees.
• ✅ FAST AND EASY TO USE: Choose a 3 or 5-second setting for fast relief from the itching, pain, and swelling caused by insect bites and stings.
• ✅ SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE: Bite Away’s chemical-free treatment is suitable for adults, children ages 2+*, expectant moms, and allergy sufferers. (*Self-application from 12 years of age.)
• ✅ PEACE OF MIND 2-YEAR WARRANTY: The Bite Away is an FDA-Cleared, class II medical device. As such, warranty is only available when purchased from BiteAway or a Bite Away authorized retailer
• ✅ SAFE & EFFECTIVE: Bite Away is FDA-Cleared, Dermatologist-Tested, and uses patented multi-level safety technology (EU: patent no. 3308752: US no. 16/317,147: patent pending). It works by safely applying concentrated heat through the ceramic contact surface. Please note: the heat can be surprising and intense for some, but only lasts 3 or 5 seconds.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this provide relief if not used until the first time until the second day or later
Answer:	I've never waited that long and my impression is that it works best if used immediately. The abstract of the testing administered the bite-away heat after 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. If you can only use it after 2 days, then it probably isn't the best solution.
Question:	How effective is it on fire ant bites? I hate them
Answer:	It will definitely help with them. You might have to use it several times to get relief, because fire ants and one heck of a sting.
Question:	will it work for spider bites
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry into the use of the bite away® for spider bites. The bite away® has been FDA Cleared for use against pesky insect bites. Spiders are arachnids therefore they are not members of the insect family. Arachnid bites can result in the transmission of pathogens and venoms and our product can not prevent nor reverse pathogens and venom transmissions. We can not advise the use of the bite away® for spider bites.
Question:	Does it work on Acne
Answer:	According to the NASA study (you can google NASA acne device), the treatment requires delivery temperature of 47c for 2 minutes. That's how the Zeno device works. With a PID temp regulator hooked to a heat source (such as a glue gun) you can create a similar device that doesn't require expensive refills for about $30. Back to your question, the answer is no, this device is much hotter and runs for much shorter periods because it's designed to break down enzymes near your skin surface instead of killing bacteria much deeper down.

Product features

1. Select 3 or 5 Seconds

Simply place the ceramic contact surface of Bite Away on an insect bite or sting and select the 3 or 5-second setting. We recommend 3 seconds for the first application.

2. Bite Away Heats Up

The device will safely heat up until a temperature of around 124°F is reached and is maintained for the selected time. (Please note: the heat can be surprising and intense for some, but only lasts 3 or 5 seconds.)

3. Sweet Relief

The localized pulse of heat can trigger a response from the body that reduces itching, pain, and swelling. Reapply on the same insect bite or sting as needed (up to 5 times per hour, waiting at least 2 minutes between applications).
