Biteaway uses the principle of concentrated heat to relieve insect bites immediately once they occur or even hours afterwards. The device contains a single-chip thermostat on its heating module, which is heated to approximately 50 degrees Celcius, the temperature at which insect protein molecules become decomposed. By placing the device on the specific area of a bite or sting, Biteaway helps remove the protein from the skin, thus relieving the bite or sting.
The controlled temperature delivered by Biteaway's heating module, in which the temperature reached is between 49-53 degrees, for a specific amount of time), works to immediately alleviate the bite or sting, usually within about three seconds!
When applied immediately after a bite or sting, Biteaway actually prevents the bite from causing itching or swelling when applied sometime after a bite, or even after several hours, Biteaway will still help minimize the itching and swelling of the bite, and will cause it to eventually disappear. Biteaway works entirely without chemical substances.
Biteaway should be applied to a bite or sting immediately after it occurs. If you do not have it handy after you are bitten or stung, you can still use the device once you do have access to it.
Whether you use it immediately or after several hours, follow these steps:
Place the device's heating surface directly on the bite or sting.
Press one of the two starting keys* and wait for the device to reach the appropriate temperature.**
During the appropriate treatment time, keep the heating surface slightly pressed on the bite.
Once the right temperature is reached, there will be an acoustic signal lasting about half a second, and a green diode will show the range of temperature reached.
When you see this temperature displayed, remove the device from the bite or sting.
* Note: The right key is for adults (treatment time is approximately five seconds), the left key is for children or adults with sensitive skin (treatment time is approximately three seconds).
** Note: After turning on one of the two start buttons, the pre-heating phase begins.When the appropriate temperature has been reached (in less than 10 seconds), the control will determine the appropriate range of temperature, depending on the time interval chosen (either of the two start buttons).If the temperature is not reached within 10 seconds, the low battery alert will show on the digital display, indicated by a flashing and three half-second acoustic signals.In this case, the batteries should be replaced.
Biteaway works with a distribution voltage ranging between 2.3 to 3.6 V. The device can thus be used with AA batteries or with accumulators in AA format.
Keep out of reach of Children. Do not use on mucus membranes, eyes or open wounds.
Customer Reviews
Would not be with out the Bite Away, I apply this several times as soon as I get a mosquito bite within mins, it instantly takes away the itch and there is no swelling, before I had this product my bite would get so sore, red and swollen. I never go on holiday without this and always have this handy at home. Highly recommend this product.
I am so allergic to Sandflies, so when my husband and I decided to head to the South Island for some R&R, I was a little anxious about being eaten alive. I stocked up on natural insect repellant and we headed off on our journey.
Needless to say, I was swarmed by Sandflies at one of the beautiful South Island lakes. I managed to only get a bite on my right little finger. Normally when I get bitten, I dare not scratch, even though the itching is almost intolerable, the bite swells terribly, goes bright link, hard and very hot. If I do by accident scratch in the middle of the night (this is always when the itching is at its worst), the bite blisters and can turn a shade of purple and last for about 2 weeks! Eek...
I remembered when we got back to our accommodation that night that I had the little Bite Away device in my bag somewhere, so quickly zapped my finger with device and probably zapped it again, because I really didn't want the itching to start. I forgot about the bite and carried on with my holiday. It must have been a day or two later when I realised that the bite did not itch and the redness and swelling that I normally have, just wasn't there. I was so happy, and absolutely love the device. Won't travel without it.
