BiteX Original Insect Bite Healer BR 60, bite healer heat pen for the treatment of insect bites and stings, electric bite healer, holiday gadget, relieves itching

Absolutely brilliant little device. Drug free itch and swelling relief from bites which is almost instant. I definitely recommend this for anyone who is often lunch for the mozzies. It says you can use it on children aged 3 years and up, not sure you would because the heat can feel quite uncomfortable but that doesn't detract from what is a brilliant little gadget.

I am someone who ALWAYS gets bitten when the mozzies are out, even with deet spray, and other repellants, so this product was a no brainer for me, but I had no idea how effective it would be. In past years when I've been bitten I end up with dozens of scars from the bites (and the resultant scratching and re-healing). However this year, as soon as the massive red blotches appeared, I treated them with this and it killed the itching completely. As a result the bites healed up completely within a week leaving zero scars or blemishes. I will say that the heat does hurt a bit in use. You are effectively *ALMOST* burning yourself, but the results are SO worth it. The small amount of discomfort is massively outweighed by the total elimination of days of itching. Having seen how well it worked I would have easily paid double the price. Definitely worth the money. In terms of ease of use, its one button. I don't think it could be much simpler.

I may not be the most handsome guy in the world, but mosquitoes think I am utterly delicious. I can't seem to attract a human mate, but whilst mosquitoes exist, I will never be alone. Yes, I really did win those awards. Last year I was even a centrefold... I am covered in a very different kind of "love bite". Hey, they say love hurts, right? I was very sceptical that this product would help - I've tried the "clicker" ones which produce a mild electric current, which feel like a rubber band being slapped against the bite, but apart from slightly electrocuting me, these left the bites feeling just as sore and itchy as before. So, electrocuting myself doesn't help. Antihistamine creams give the bites a lovely sheen and seem to bring out that attractive redness, so I look like I'm covered in greasy boils, but they don't do anything for the itching either. So, understand I was sceptical that a device which heated my skin for a few seconds was going to do anything, but hey, I am a single middle-aged male who can only get mosquitoes to come anywhere near me, so I have spare cash to waste on more useless gadgets. I don't spend it on dates. The thing is though, this little gadget pretty much works. It won't cure your bite magically, but it does calm down the itching and reduce the swelling a little. You can use it for 3 seconds or 6 seconds, but I am a very hardcore, rugged bloke (yeah right, I wouldn't be single if I was) so I went straight for the 6. Anyone impressed yet? Date? No? You turn it on with a tiny switch, which seems unnecessarily tiny, even to a bloke like me... Seriously, it fine for me but it's very small and and it's white on a white background so could be easier to use. Once it's switched on, a single click gives you 3 seconds, a double click gives you 6 seconds. Same principle as a computer mouse, but more awkward because you're holding it at an angle on your skin with one hand and trying to do a quick double-click with the other. Someone else doing it for you would help here, but this presents obvious problems for someone like me. Bitter, I? Anyway, it's hot but not unbearably so and it's all over quite quickly (oh dear, I am just handing people the lines now aren't I?) It could be redesigned to be easier to use, especially for people who are covered in mosquito bites and so, like me, may have difficulty in getting other humans to approach them. It is the bites that's the reason. I believe that. I need to believe that. Anyway, seriously. A couple of ease of use niggles aside, this product works to reduce itching and swelling from insect bites. It cools down very quickly and is compact and easy to store. If you are as attractive to mosquitoes as I am, whether or not fellow humans feel the same about you, it's worth a look.

Really impressed with this little device. It heats the bite area for a few seconds and helps reduce itching and irritation quite quickly. Easy to use and small enough to keep handy when needed. Works well for mosquito bites and similar insect bites.

Cannot recommend this product enough. After use, it keeps the itch away for up to 12 hours. I’d never go on holiday without it now.

Not bad but not as good as the Bite Away. There are 3 things I find inferior compared to the Bite Away: 1) the heat is inconsistent on the longer setting - gets cooler part way through, 2) the double clicking is awkward compared to the dedicated button on the Bite Away, 3) it’s annoying to have to switch it on and off, 4) the noise is quite annoying. On the other hand I prefer the size and shape of this one. Fits better in your pocket.

It really really works. We live in NW Scotland where the midges are a nuisance in summer. Everyone reacts differently to bites and my partner reacts particularly badly, not only itching but nerve pain all over his arms where he's bitten while working outside. I react badly on my legs where every bite turns onto an itchy lump. This machine has a tiny circle which you hold on the bite and press the button once for 3 seconds of heat or double click for 6 seconds. At first you think nothing is happening then it gives you a tiny burning pain. It's actually really quite painful (depending on body area) but that's kind of the whole point. That short pain confuses the nerves and it stops it from itching. You can experience the same effect by heating a teaspoon in hot water but unless you are very careful and have a good thermometer it will be very difficult to get the right temperature. It has to be hot enough to hurt without being hot enough enough to actually burn your skin which is very difficult to do. This machine gives you a perfect safe dose every time. Note you might read online about heat denaturing the protein in stings etc but that's not what's happening here. So if you are wondering if it works on midgie bites, yes it does. I got a few yesterday and I woke up this morning with a burning itching lump on my ankle, I'd obviously been scratching it in my sleep and it was already hot and puffy. This would normally cause my misery and take ages to go down. I got up and gave it a couple of good zaps and it gave immediate relief. 10/10 recommendation to anyone bothered by bites, wouldn't be without it now and much better than antihistamines. I was a bit disappointed it comes with a disposable battery instead of being rechargeable but you only turn it on for a few seconds at a time so should last ages.

Whilst not happy at needing to use this gadget, I’m very happy my money wasn’t wasted and it actually works. I made the purchase as I could no longer buy my reliable after bite spray, anything good always seems to get discontinued at some point! The feedbacks were good and I took a punt. I got bitten but couldn’t actually see where the bite was for around 24 hours, I thought I had three, turned out to be only one. So the two areas that didn’t have bites got little blisters from using the gadget, I’m not complaining, it still helped with the initial itching. I started using it after around 10 minutes of realising I’d been bitten. It was still very effective and started working as soon as I used it. Normally a bite would make me swell up and itch like mad for 3 days, I’d be constantly scratching, despite using antihistamines creams. Using this there was practically no itch, I used it no more than 10 times over a 24 hour period including the non bites. I used the 3 second button only, I would say on the second day I used it around 3 times which were uncomfortably hot, but it did the trick and didn’t need to use it again. I had none of the usual swelling either. My partner used it straight away after being bitten and only needed one go of 3 seconds. I’m very impressed & will be keeping this near me during the biting season.

Come molti ho il problema che se inizio a grattarmi le punture, specie nelle gambe e sulle caviglie, creo delle croste di sangue che paiono fori di proiettile! Ho provato di tutto, dai repellenti, ai dopo-punture in stick e anche i classici dispositivi che emettono segnali sonori a una certa frequenza che "disturberebbero/allontanerebbero" zanzare e altri insetti ma niente mi dava un vero sollievo e attenuazione del prurito. Scoprii per caso questo prodotto - insieme ad altri simili - e questo mi sembrava il più funzionante seppur il dubbio che fosse una semplice fregatura c'era sempre ma devo ammettere che funziona veramente! Sembra banale ma il calore emesso dalla piccola piastra in ceramica attenua enormemente la sensazione di prurito; contro il gonfiore e il rossore non fa' gran chè ma già toglie completamente la sensazione di prurito, evitando di auto-scorticarti la pelle a furia di grattarti! PRO - Sarà effetto un effetto placebo o solo psicosomatico ma (almeno personalmente) funziona perfettamente sulle punture di zanzara, da sollievo immediato se applicato direttamente al "bozzolo" centrale - Funzionamento basilare, un solo tasto per farlo funzionare, due modalità. Pressione singola del tasto e la piastra scalda 3 secondi, doppia pressione rapida e il tempo raddoppia; a fine calore il dispositivo emetterà un segnale acustico - In caso di puntura, tentare prima coi 3 secondi, una volta terminati se avrete ancora prurito, provare con tempo maggiore - Ottimo e compatto, le batterie in dotazione seppur abbastanza mediocri, garantiscono abbastanza cicli di riscaldamento CONTRO - Non è detto che con una semplice "somministrazione" di 3 o 6 secondi, il prurito sparisce, mi è capitato per delle punture bestiali, di riprovare 3/4 volte ma alla fine, dopo un po' di dolore aggiuntivo, il prurito passa! - Sconsigliato su pelli sensibili e/o arrossate dal sole o già irritate per altri motivi - Se iniziate a grattarvi la puntura, quasi a sangue, dopo l'applicazione di questo dispositivo sarà oltre che vana, anche dolorosa se avrete la cute aperta o sanguinante

I never leave reviews as I’m lazy, but I have to say this thing is incredible. I get bitten badly and in peak season, daily. Nothing works to stop the bites completely and until now I’ve never found anything to stop the itching. With bad bites, I’m often up in the night due to itching and being uncomfortable. However, that’s about to change as this thing arrived today and it works instantly. It does get hot and can feel uncomfortable, but the discomfort stops instantly after the 3 seconds is up and it’s well worth it to stop itching and pain for days

Bought this following a horrendous holiday near Lake Garda where our resort was infested with mosquitoes. Used it this year in Mallorca (where the friendly bat population did a fantastic job of keeping mosquito numbers right down). The product works really well. Following a bite you switch it on, put it at the point of the bite, and press the button. A searing pinpoint of heat can be felt (uncomfortable but not unbearable) for a few seconds. Following that the itch stops almost immediately. One thing to note was that 3 of 4 of us found it excellent. My son complained that it made matters worse, but I believe he may have been bitten by ants rather than mosquitoes, and the tool is specifically designed to counter the proteins that mosquitoes “inject” when they bite.

Wystarczy jedno krótkie przyłożenie na około 6 sekund, a nieprzyjemne uczucie swędzenia zniknie w mgnieniu oka. Co więcej, wyjątkowo skuteczny wobec szczególnie upartych komarów, co dla mnie stanowi nie lada zaletę, biorąc pod uwagę moją atrakcyjność dla tych owadów. Poręczny rozmiar sprawia, że można go łatwo zabrać ze sobą na każdą wyprawę na świeżym powietrzu.

​Nous avons emporté le Beurer BR 60 cet été et c'est sans aucun doute l'achat le plus utile de l'année. Malgré une petite appréhension au début, l'efficacité sur les piqûres est bluffante. ​🟢 Les points forts : ​Efficacité radicale : Dès que ça gratte, on applique l'appareil et la démangeaison disparaît quasiment instantanément. C'est magique pour stopper l'envie de se gratter et éviter que la piqûre ne s'infecte. ​Sans produits chimiques : C'est le gros avantage. Cela fonctionne uniquement par la chaleur (thermothérapie), ce qui est idéal pour éviter les crèmes à répétition. ​Format pocket : Il est tout petit, se glisse dans une poche ou un sac à dos. On l'avait partout avec nous en balade. ​Deux modes : Il y a un programme court (3 secondes) pour les peaux sensibles et un programme plus long (6 secondes), ce qui permet d'adapter l'intensité. ​🔴 Les points d'attention : ​Sensation de chaleur : Comme vous le soulignez, le côté chaud est un peu douloureux et brutal au premier contact. Ça surprend vraiment la première fois ! Mais c'est cette chaleur précise qui neutralise le venin ou la salive du moustique. ​On finit par s'y faire : On apprend vite à anticiper la petite "décharge" de chaleur et, vu le soulagement que cela procure juste après, on accepte volontiers ces quelques secondes de picotement. ​🦟 Verdict : ​Ne partez pas en vacances sans lui ! C'est un petit investissement qui évite bien des nuits blanches à se gratter. Douloureux sur le coup, mais tellement efficace sur la durée. On ne peut plus s'en passer.
