BiteAway for Treatment of Insect Bites

Special Summer offer price of £23.49 including free delivery.

The BiteAway is a relatively new product in the UK used extensively in Europe to positive reviews. The German Lifeguard Association (DLRG) are one organisation who use the BiteAway due to its effectiveness in the treatment of insect bites and stings. It is ideal for people who spend lots of time outdoors in the warmer months.

Usage

The Bite Away is a patented medicinal device which was developed for the external treatment of insect bites and stings as gnats, mosquitos, wasps, hornets and horseflies. It is offered in two different housing variants as a stick or in a compact design. It can be used straight away and at any time due to its small and handy shape.

When applied immediately after a sting, the bite away prevents or minimizes the itching so that it becomes insignificant and prevents a subequent swelling. When applied later, even after hours, the itching will be minimized immediately, as well or will disappear. The swelling will go down more quickly.

Directions

Place the bite away’s heating surface exactly on the sting. During treatment time keep it slightly pressed on it. Press one of the two starting keys. The right key is for dults, treatment time is approx. 5 seconds and a temperature of 49°C to 53°C is reached. The left key is for children or adults with sensitive skin, the treatment time is approx, 3 seconds and a temperature of 49°C to 53°C is reached. At the beginning of the heating phase and after termination of the constant temperature phase there will be an acoustic signal (of about 0.5 seconds). A green luminous diode shows the range of the constant temperature. After distinguishing of the LED remove the bite away from the sting.

Do not apply the bite away on mucous membranes, open wounds and eyes.

Can the bite away be used on wounds or mucous membranes?

Answer: No.

After unpacking the bite away, there is no signal when first using it and the luminous diode does not flash.

Answer: The device was not developed for spider bites, but can help with most types of them.

The bite away fell into the water, can the device be repaired?

Answer: The devices are only splash-water protected, but they need not be necessarily unusable after a short time in water (dry it after having removed the batteries and try again).

I am allergic, does the bite away protect me against allergic reactions?

Answer: When applied rapidly, this is not impossible, however, there do not exist expressive series of tests.

Can the bite away be used for snakes and scorpion stings?

Answer: Not in this form.

Tom :
Amazing prouct, if you use it just after you've been bitten, the bite actually diappears and there's no more itching. If you use it on existing bites, it really helps stops the itching. I used it in north africa and wouldn't leave home without it now. Would definately recommend

Bought a Biteaway in Waiheke Island NZ while on holiday and attacked by mosquitos. I found it to be extraordinarily effective in neutralising the ic itchiness and have used with great success here in the UK.
