After Bite, Pharmacist Preferred Insect Bite Treatment, 0.5-ounce (4 pack), Multi (0006-1030)

I first used this during a trip to Mt. Lassen National Park in early spring, when the mosquitoes were out in force and they nearly sucked me dry. I thought that I would be safe with wool long underwear and double-layered hiking pants. I was mistaken. Those little suckers drilled right through and I was covered by dozens, if not hundreds, of bites. I itched like crazy even after washing and treating the bites first with alcohol and then with witch hazel. I then used After Bite and the itchiness went away as if by magic. Truly amazing stuff. I understand that the active ingredient is just ammonia... Whatever, it worked so well I put a full tube of this stuff in every first aid kit and emergency kit I have.The tube is about the diameter of a lib balm and about 1.5 times as long. Unscrew the cap and there is an applicator pad that looks a little like a big white eraser. Just rub that on the bite and presto! No more itch. I believe you can apply as needed, but I only needed one application per bite. I haven't used a full tube yet, but it seems like it would last a good long while; you can hear the liquid inside if you shake it and the applicator allows only a small amount to cover your bite as you rub it on.If you are ever out in the woods and even remotely likely to be bitten or stung by an insect, have one of these with you. I now consider this an essential addition to my camping and first aid kit. Five stars-plus!

After Bite is a great product to have around the house and in my first Aid Kit, I have used it for man years. It does have a ammonia scent but it works fast at dulling the sting or bite and helps bring the swelling down. This product was a 4 pack special and is a great value for the money, I'm glad Amazon.com makes this product available, sometimes a have a hard time finding this particular roll on tube in the supermarket, I'm very happy with my purchase and I will buy it again.

Helps take the itch away after mosquito bites. I used to scratch my skin, sometimes to the point of accidentally breaking the skin. Now I rub this over the welts and the relief is immediate, taking my mind off the itching.

ProsPack of 4. I can take one to work, leave one in my car ect,Either works, or its a placebo where my brain thinks its working. Either way the itch goes away for 5-10 minutes.Draw right on your mosquito bites within seconds.Lasts a long timeConsHas a somewhat strong smell but only lasts for a minuteCan sometimes be hard to get the liquid out of the pen. Need to shake a little but then too much may come out.Takes a few minutes to start working. Just touching the bite alone though provides relief for a few seconds.I prefer a spray that I used to use as a kid that harden the bites. It seemed to work better than this however I would definitely buy this stuff again. It can be a life saver on those nights when you are covered in bug bites and just want to get some sleep!

Quick shipping, fine packaging and the product really works. We have lots of mosquito's where I live - large backyard with many, many flowers and stray cats which help "fertilize the soil." Going outside during mosquito season for 5 minutes can result in 5 bites, many multiple hits. Mosquitos love me intensely.The key to best use of "After Bite" is to apply it as soon as possible after the winged Dracula attack. In application, what I do for best results is to coat the area with the ammonia bicarbonate solution and continue for 2-3 minutes pressing the soft application tip directly on the center of the bite. This continued pressure on the center of the bite site - I believe - does a better job getting the After Bite solution through the skin and into the inflamed area. The bite often just goes away. In some cases the inflammation will re-appear from several hours to a day later with lessened intensity. Re-apply the After Bite. I also believe that there may be an actual chemical reaction between the After Bite ammonia bicarbonate solution and the blood thinner chemical that the mosquito injects into the skin to more easily suck out the blood.

The price of this is very good; I usually pay at least $5 for ONE. I keep one of these in my purse at all times, especially in the summer, and I cannot tell you how many times I have used it for myself or others. It is a great product and it works! I was at an outside fair a few years ago and a 3 year old got stung by a bee so I ran over with my After Bite and gave it to the mother who couldn't thank me enough. Great to have with you everywhere; parks, beach, any outdoor (or indoor) event, jogging, cycling, just everywhere.

I give the Tender after bite itch eraser a 3 out of 5Pros:- Temporarily relieves itching- Comes in a very portable container (Size of a large Sharpie)- AffordableCons:- Itch comes back after about 30 minutes- Not very much liquid in each tube.Conclusion: Using Ice is a better option, but this is a good bug itch reliever if you're on the go and are willing to store it in your purse or pocket.

After Bite is the best. We live in a rural area and spend a lot of time outdoors. After Bite is the only thing we found that takes care of a simple mosquito bite, to a fire ant bite, and everything in between. Fire ants are a huge problem where we are and when you get bit/stung by one of them the misery lasts over a week. With After Bite, it makes it tolerable.
