Beurer BiteX Original Insect Bite Healer BR 60, bite healer heat pen for the treatment of insect bites and stings, electric bite healer, holiday gadget, relieves itching

I bought this 5 years ago and still recommend it to people all the time !!! I suffered for years with both getting bitten lots and reacting badly . I no longer fear getting bitten as I know i can use this gadget to take the itch away. Yes you still end up with a small red mark from the bite but it doesn’t itch , you haven’t scratched the head off , it’s not swollen into a massive reaction, and after a couple days it disappears . If you’ve tried loads of wonder gadgets / products in the past and been disappointed you won’t if you buy this . Yes it hurts … a bit … for a short amount of time … but it’s fine as you know instant relief is coming. Highly recommended from somebody that never writes product reviews

Great little gadget ,easy to use and instant relief, worth every penny

I may not be the most handsome guy in the world, but mosquitoes think I am utterly delicious. I can't seem to attract a human mate, but whilst mosquitoes exist, I will never be alone. Yes, I really did win those awards. Last year I was even a centrefold... I am covered in a very different kind of "love bite". Hey, they say love hurts, right? I was very sceptical that this product would help - I've tried the "clicker" ones which produce a mild electric current, which feel like a rubber band being slapped against the bite, but apart from slightly electrocuting me, these left the bites feeling just as sore and itchy as before. So, electrocuting myself doesn't help. Antihistamine creams give the bites a lovely sheen and seem to bring out that attractive redness, so I look like I'm covered in greasy boils, but they don't do anything for the itching either. So, understand I was sceptical that a device which heated my skin for a few seconds was going to do anything, but hey, I am a single middle-aged male who can only get mosquitoes to come anywhere near me, so I have spare cash to waste on more useless gadgets. I don't spend it on dates. The thing is though, this little gadget pretty much works. It won't cure your bite magically, but it does calm down the itching and reduce the swelling a little. You can use it for 3 seconds or 6 seconds, but I am a very hardcore, rugged bloke (yeah right, I wouldn't be single if I was) so I went straight for the 6. Anyone impressed yet? Date? No? You turn it on with a tiny switch, which seems unnecessarily tiny, even to a bloke like me... Seriously, it fine for me but it's very small and and it's white on a white background so could be easier to use. Once it's switched on, a single click gives you 3 seconds, a double click gives you 6 seconds. Same principle as a computer mouse, but more awkward because you're holding it at an angle on your skin with one hand and trying to do a quick double-click with the other. Someone else doing it for you would help here, but this presents obvious problems for someone like me. Bitter, I? Anyway, it's hot but not unbearably so and it's all over quite quickly (oh dear, I am just handing people the lines now aren't I?) It could be redesigned to be easier to use, especially for people who are covered in mosquito bites and so, like me, may have difficulty in getting other humans to approach them. It is the bites that's the reason. I believe that. I need to believe that. Anyway, seriously. A couple of ease of use niggles aside, this product works to reduce itching and swelling from insect bites. It cools down very quickly and is compact and easy to store. If you are as attractive to mosquitoes as I am, whether or not fellow humans feel the same about you, it's worth a look.

I had looked at this before but I wasn’t convinced it would work, so only purchased when there was a discount. Both my son and I seem to get bitten when abroad and in the uk so have had the opportunity to try in both of us. It basically just put intense heat in the bite area. It does feel very hot, but we have only used the 3 second function so just as you’re about to go ouch it’s done. My son is 9 and he went that was very hot but had no issue using it again. I did two lots of 3 seconds on my mosquito bite and that seemed enough. Had no itching after I used it when I normally would and although I had a red mark for a few days it was flat where there would normally be a lump. Definitely going to take it to Greece with us this summer and hopefully will still be just as impressed.

The best little device! Only thing that helps to soothe my bites as antihistamines and creams do absolutely nothing for me. 10/10

Not keen

It really really works. We live in NW Scotland where the midges are a nuisance in summer. Everyone reacts differently to bites and my partner reacts particularly badly, not only itching but nerve pain all over his arms where he's bitten while working outside. I react badly on my legs where every bite turns onto an itchy lump. This machine has a tiny circle which you hold on the bite and press the button once for 3 seconds of heat or double click for 6 seconds. At first you think nothing is happening then it gives you a tiny burning pain. It's actually really quite painful (depending on body area) but that's kind of the whole point. That short pain confuses the nerves and it stops it from itching. You can experience the same effect by heating a teaspoon in hot water but unless you are very careful and have a good thermometer it will be very difficult to get the right temperature. It has to be hot enough to hurt without being hot enough enough to actually burn your skin which is very difficult to do. This machine gives you a perfect safe dose every time. Note you might read online about heat denaturing the protein in stings etc but that's not what's happening here. So if you are wondering if it works on midgie bites, yes it does. I got a few yesterday and I woke up this morning with a burning itching lump on my ankle, I'd obviously been scratching it in my sleep and it was already hot and puffy. This would normally cause my misery and take ages to go down. I got up and gave it a couple of good zaps and it gave immediate relief. 10/10 recommendation to anyone bothered by bites, wouldn't be without it now and much better than antihistamines. I was a bit disappointed it comes with a disposable battery instead of being rechargeable but you only turn it on for a few seconds at a time so should last ages.

Absolutely brilliant little device. Drug free itch and swelling relief from bites which is almost instant. I definitely recommend this for anyone who is often lunch for the mozzies. It says you can use it on children aged 3 years and up, not sure you would because the heat can feel quite uncomfortable but that doesn't detract from what is a brilliant little gadget.

I never leave reviews as I’m lazy, but I have to say this thing is incredible. I get bitten badly and in peak season, daily. Nothing works to stop the bites completely and until now I’ve never found anything to stop the itching. With bad bites, I’m often up in the night due to itching and being uncomfortable. However, that’s about to change as this thing arrived today and it works instantly. It does get hot and can feel uncomfortable, but the discomfort stops instantly after the 3 seconds is up and it’s well worth it to stop itching and pain for days

Działa. Córka nie da sobie zrobić, żona skacze jak poparzona , ale faktycznie działa nie używam już nic imnego.

Bought this following a horrendous holiday near Lake Garda where our resort was infested with mosquitoes. Used it this year in Mallorca (where the friendly bat population did a fantastic job of keeping mosquito numbers right down). The product works really well. Following a bite you switch it on, put it at the point of the bite, and press the button. A searing pinpoint of heat can be felt (uncomfortable but not unbearable) for a few seconds. Following that the itch stops almost immediately. One thing to note was that 3 of 4 of us found it excellent. My son complained that it made matters worse, but I believe he may have been bitten by ants rather than mosquitoes, and the tool is specifically designed to counter the proteins that mosquitoes “inject” when they bite.

Ottimo, testato bello caldo con 2 potenze, toglie il prurito senza medicinali. Soddisfatto, batterie già incluse

I was sceptical as to how effective this would be, but I've been proven wrong. Great device, highly recommend. I suffer badly with bites, and this takes the itch out immediately
