BUG BITE THING Suction Tool - Bug Bites and Bee/Wasp Stings, Natural Insect Bite Relief, Black

This is the second one I have bought for our household. I won’t go outside without it. We are recent transplants to Florida, and these are the meanest mosquitoes I’ve ever met. Sure, the Louisiana mosquitoes are the size of hummingbirds, but they’re not real go-getters unless you’re in the swamp.These Florida mosquitoes are sociopathic. Insanely aggressive and their bites are nasty and itchy. AND THEY ARE IN OUR BACKYARD!Two days ago I was in the yard and was attacked by a gang of these creatures. They dive-bombed me from all angles and chomped down on me more or less simultaneously. Side note: At the same time I learned that “natural” bug repellent made with essential oils might work on less ambitious mosquitoes, but it didn’t work with these.I ran inside to avoid further attack and grabbed the Bug Thing. I had a huge bite on my forehead (one of 12 bites in total), and it itched like crazy. I didn’t want to do to my face what I did to my arm a few years ago, scratching like a maniac while I slept and ending up with a scarred arm and blood-stained sheets. So I busted out the Bug Thing.In my eagerness to get rid of the itching, and because the bite was big, I kept the suction going for a long time. Too long, as it turns out.I didn’t read the instructions with our first Bug Thing, because it seemed self-explanatory, but the devil’s always in the details, isn’t it? Turns out, there’s a big fat warning about not using it on your face. Who knew? (Everyone who read the instructions, but not the girl with the big purple circle on her forehead.)I regret NOTHING. This thing works amazingly well, and so what if I have a quarter-sized love bite on my forehead? Big whoop. THE BUG THING IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE ITCHING. Bruises go away; scars from fingernails, not so much.Another word of advice: I bought several of a knock-off brand, thinking, “It’s a plastic barrel with a plunger, how hard could it be to replicate?” I guess fairly hard, because the knock-offs were flimsy and I couldn’t really get a good vacuum with them. I mean, I guess I wouldn’t have been able to suck a ridiculous bruise to the surface of my face with one of the knock-offs, but I probably wouldn’t have been able to suck the itch juice out of my skin, either. I’d much rather have a bruise than a bite.Anyway, this thing is awesome, just don’t use it on your face…or do. I would100% do it again.

I am a mosquito magnet. I seriously don’t know how this happens but they just adore me. I read that what I have is called skeeter syndrome. I’ve tried a million things and always end up bitten with huge marks that get extremely swollen. I purchased this and received it two days ago. Today I was walking at the park with my daughter (with a mosquito repellent bracelet on my ankle) and got bitten. Right away I put this to use, unsure if I was doing it correctly. Let me tell you I got a bit of a swell but way way way way less than what I usually get. Usually I get days of swelling. I’ll update on my recurring use but as of now this was totally worth it.

This is my second time buying this item after losing the first one I bought. Literally just got back to camping with a dozen bug bites and made sure to use this thing on every single one. Just make sure to hold it for at least 10-20 seconds and some bites you'll need to use multiple times. It's not going to complete get rid of the effects of the bite, but it makes a huge difference. Will absolutely be buying a third time if I lose it again!

I was skeptical, but this thing really works! I used it on several bites that were a few days old. After one 10-20 second go, itchiness was significantly reduced, so I did it 2 or 3 more times and the itchiness completely disappeared for good. These were all on my arms and legs (mosquitoes LOVE me), and I didn’t get any hickies.I’m thrilled! I get bit all the time, and I hate being itchy for days, not to mention having red, raised bites and irritated skin. I can’t wait to try this thing on fresh bites, but just know that it even works on old ones. Genius device!

Mosquitoes hunt me down. It doesn't matter what I do, how many layers I wear, whatever anti-mosquito chemicals I have slathered on my body. They find me, and they feast upon me. It's not fun. I have evidence of the bites for weeks--huge red bumps that I wind up scratching in my sleep. My lymph nodes swell up. It's awful.I tried this gadget, and there's some benefit to it.I noticed a mosquito on my arm a couple of days ago, and I swatted it to its end.I waited until I saw a bump forming so that I could center the tool over it.It gave me a mosquito device hickey. So that's a drawback unless you're into body art with large dots. You could try to replicate a Roy Lichenstein work on your body. . .I noticed that it wasn't itching for the rest of that day, though when I woke up the next day, the itch had returned.It wasn't as bad as had I done nothing. I think the itch is subsiding which is a substantial "pro" for me.So, it sort of works. It's not perfect, but it's better than doing nothing and suffering the full effects of those nasty mosquitoes.

I've used this Bug Bite Thing on several occasions......I have 4 of them around my house and purse. As soon as you get a mosquito bite use this for 20-30 seconds then your done! The swelling goes away and itchiness gone! I had 10 on one leg and 6 on the other 24 hrs ago and today they're all gone and I didn’t get any hiccies! I’m thrilled! I get bit all the time, and I hate being itchy for days, not to mention having red, raised bites and irritated skin. Genius device!
