The bite away® is a handheld device that allows the user to apply a therapeutic dose of heat directly to an insect sting or bite and is clinically proven to provide temporary relief of the resulting itching, pain and swelling. If the device is applied immediately after the sting or bite, the symptoms can usually be prevented completely. Even if the device is used slightly later, the symptoms can still subside sooner. bite away® works solely by concentrated heat and is thus completely free from chemicals (also suitable for pregnant women, allergy sufferers and children).
A portable, battery-powered device intended to be used for the external treatment of insect bites or stings (e.g., from midges/gnats, mosquitoes, wasps, hornets, horseflies) through the application of concentrated heat.

It typically consists of a pocket-sized, hand-held housing containing electronics, batteries, and a skin-surface contact plate. It is available [non-prescription] over-the-counter (OTC) for home-use.
