Love At First Bite!

When I read aloud the description of what this product does to my “co-worker” (more on that later), I was met with eye rolls and guffaws. “Is this something from that crazy website that sold you that mini solar powered chainsaw that you now use to slice potatoes for French fries?!”... This item, aptly named Bite Away, could not have arrived at a better time. We decided to demolish a small brick wall and extend the patio in the dog days of summer. The humidity was thick, Tropical Storm Ida had ju...

Just in time for mosquito season

I got this device just in time for post-rainy season yardwork, the one time of year in my area when insect bites are a problem. It seems to be well-made. It's compact and easy to use. Power source is 2 AA batteries, very economical. It works by applying a 3- to 5-second heat treatment to the affected area. I don't know whether the heat dissipates and neutralizes venom in the bite or whether it dulls the nerves in the area. In either case, it works on most mosquito bites. No two bites are id...

Easy to Use; Too Soon to Rate Effectiveness

I received my BiteAway very promptly but thought, gee, I need an insect bite in order to use this device, and it’s late summer. Too late? It wasn’t. As luck would have it, I got a bite the next day. The BiteAway is incredibly easy to use. You just press the button on the right, and this very hot spot zaps your bite for 5 seconds, then turns off automatically. The instructions say to use it a maximum of 5 times in a row. The instructions are short but very clear. I used it three times. I...

Gives temporary relief

I was skeptical. I read some online info about this product, I read some online information about insect bites and itching. I tried this product on a bug bite that was in fact itching me. The itching stopped for a while, it seems to actually work. While cortisone is the recommended treatment by experts, I think the benefit of this product is for those who do not wish to or cannot use a medication or ointment because of allergy or other underlying concerns. This product relies on heat as the tre...

Definitely works, but not great for kids

I really got this because we live on a horse farm and my 4 year old is always getting bug bites. She also tends to have larger reaction to bug bites than my wife or I. When it came, I was impressed by convenient size and ergonomics, its not much bigger than a marker. It's very simple to use, only 2 buttons, one for 3 seconds and the other for 5 seconds duration of heat. I tested it on myself and it definitely does work. The round spot on the bottom heats up to a low burning temperature for ...

Unusual Product

We got this product because we travel extensively and are always running into biting insects. It appeared to be the perfect travel accessory. This is an unusual product in that it’s both good and bad at the same time. The pluses are that it’s portable, battery operated, chemical free, very easy to use and store, and does take the sting out of insect bites. The main minus is that on certain more sensitive body parts (knees, elbows or joints) is very hot and uncomfortable to use. My wife tried it ...

hmmm it works amazing

I got stung by a black wasp at the side door to my house came in and right away used this and really not sure how the heat in that pad works but the burn from the sting went away some waited a few minutes did it again and and it was way better and funny that night I noticed almost no swelling and no itching . That I can feel the pad heated up. I tried to see the stinger when I came in and scraped at it but saw nothing so figured it did not go in all the way . But sting did stat to swell up right...

This is terrific

I was excited to see how this Bite Away device works. Mosquito and fly bites drive me crazy. Sometimes they can itch for days. The device uses heat to calm the effects of the bite. It is so easy to use...place the device and press the button. I was surprised how hot it got, but it only lasts a few seconds or so. Then, the itch stopped. I didn't scratch. It is so nice to be able to forget about the bite. No endless scratching that delays the healing. No ugly sore where the bite occurred. The de...

Unique

So, this is defiantly different. The right button is a 3 second and the left button is a 5 second. So, right button is for children and left is for adults. This thing uses heat and believe me it gets hot. Once it is on your body, you wait until the light goes off and you will want to pull it away before hand because it gets a bit uncomfortable cause of the heat but just hang in there. Now, it did work for a little bit as there was no itching or irritation but after a few hours you needed to do...

I was happy with how well it worked!

The bite away all purpose device did a better job at relieving pain and itching than a baking soda paste. I took one star away because it gets really hot and it's not the most pleasant thing to use. I would recommend this device if you are prone to mosquito bites as it does a better job at relieving the pain and itching over a baking soda paste. PROs - easy to use - recommend the shorter setting, lightweight, easy to carry, simple instructions, heats up quickly - led light shows when it's read...
