Unfortunately, insect bites are an intrinsic part of spending time outdoors for many of us. But a new product called bite away® takes the itch or pain out of bites in just a few seconds.
International Glamping Business was sent a bite away® unit to test and we can vouch that the heat treatment is more effective than messy creams and ointments and kinder to the planet too!
bite away® is distributed by Mibe Pharma in the UK and is manufactured in Germany. It works by generating a temperature of approximately 51 °C when switched on and maintains this temperature for three to five seconds, depending on the application. You simply place the ceramic plate against the bite and choose either the three or five-second option depending on the sensitivity of the skin.
bite away® is for people over the age of 12, including pregnant and breastfeeding women and parents can use bite away® on children aged three years and over, provided the child can understand the procedure and give consent.
bite away® is also suitable for (metal) allergy sufferers as the contact surface is made of ceramic. bite away® produces a controlled heat impulse that can relieve symptoms such as itching and pain after an insect bite or sting within one minute.
The RRP £29.95 but the unit lasts a lifetime as the batteries supplied with it can be easily replaced. It is available on Amazon with 4.5 stars with over 40,000 reviews (UK site) and 4.5 stars with over 45,000 reviews (DE site).
bite away® has been recognised by the UK’s independent pharmacists as Product of the Year in the Travel Health Category of the 2022 Independent Community Pharmacists’ Awards and is available on Amazon, the bite away® Online Shop and in Boots, Weldricks Pharmacy and thousands of independent pharmacies across the UK.
The team at International Glamping Business tested it and found it to be extremely effective – we will not travel without it now – a must for every glamping site!
