Beurer 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.

It helps. Make sure you don’t put in on broken skin as that is too painful. But if the bite is fresh or not broken it does help to alleviate the itching. I found would have to use more than once, but it does help albeit not a complete panacea. Good size and easy to use. Worth the money. In terms of the pain it doesn’t hurt (my 10 year old used it) but it obviously does get hot.

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.

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.

It does seem to work, although it's no miracle, but the claim on how many times it can be used on a set of AAA batteries feels very inaccurate. I would guess I can fire it off maybe 100 times maximum before a set of batteries is drained. I've tried different brands but aside from a little variance it's not great. This is fine if you have a whole set of rechargeable batteries to hand but if not it feels wasteful how quickly it can burn through them. It's also potentially a little expensive to keep buying new ones depending on where you are in the world. If you do get one and use it a lot (I spend time in Costa Rica during the rainy season so use it a lot) I would highly recommend you get rechargeable batteries. That aside, I find the device could have been improved immensely with better light placement so that the target area is easier to press the element against. I know there's a more expensive one with a night light attached, but really a couple of minor tweaks to the placement of the existing lights so that you can find your target better would have made a great difference to its efficacy.

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.

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.

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

Działa. Córka nie da sobie zrobić, żona skacze jak poparzona , ale faktycznie działa nie używam już nic imnego.

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.

Ottimo, testato bello caldo con 2 potenze, toglie il prurito senza medicinali. Soddisfatto, batterie già incluse

Werkt perfect. Zelfs het gezinslid wat het toch wel pijnlijk vindt, gebruikt het opnieuw en opnieuw omdat het bij ons allemaal werkt. En als het na gebruik begint te jeuken dan gebruik je het gewoon opnieuw. 3 van de 5 gezinsleden vinden het niet pijnlijk maar eigenlijk wel lekker. Dit, omdat de jeuk erger is.
