Description
The Biteaway is a device which was developed for the external treatment of insect bites and stings, from mosquitos, wasps, bees, hornets and horseflies as well as for burns after contact with bluebottles, jellyfish or stinging nettle. Well-designed and simple to use, Bite Away features patented German technology using heat to de-nature the sting and rapidly reduce the pain. A tiny integrated micro-processor heats the skin to approx. 50 degrees, three seconds for children and six for adults. The heat penetrates the skin and denatures the proteins and toxins of the sting, thereby stopping the pain and preventing the histamine release that causes the itch.
Bite Away is completely safe for everyone, including children and pregnant women. It's chemical free and leaves no residue either on the skin or in the environment. Bite Away is called an insect bite healer as the technology used to stop the pain and itching of an insect bite also aids in the healing of the bite. For us this means that the lump and swelling of our bites reduce and disappear much faster than if they were left untreated.
Bite Away is compact, splash-proof and portable. Perfect for the beach, the pool and anywhere you're out and about. It's battery operated, taking two AA batteries, and with careful use will continue to last. So for people who love the outdoor life, and for those who just like being well-prepared, Bite Away is an ideal addition to your camping essentials. With a Bite Away handy, the next time you're having fun in the great outdoors, the least of your worries will be insect bites.
