Q: How does heat help an insect bite?
The venom of most common stinging and biting insects is thermolabile, meaning that high temperatures render it harmless. The device concentrates heat on the bite to help neutralize the venom.
EM505 - Insect Bite Relief Device
To relieve the pain, itching and swelling of insect bites, the Beurer insect bite relief device is a chemical-free solution that uses the focused application of heat to help neutralize the venom. The reason the heat treatment works is that the venom of most common stinging and biting insects is thermolabile, meaning that high temperatures render it harmless.
Applied for just 3 seconds, it concentrates heat (122°F / 50°C) on a small, targeted area, with the heat penetrating as deeply as the venom without damaging surrounding tissue.
Effective on the venom of bees, hornets, wasps, mosquitoes and blackflies, it works best on fresh bites but soothes even day-old ones (remove any stinger first).
It’s compact enough to keep in your pocket but also comes with a carabiner to attach to a key chain. Measures 3 1/2" × 1 1/2" × 1".
Powered by two included AAA batteries.
