just tried this 'mosquito bite healer' the wife ordered off amazon, it's supposed to reduce irritation by lightly burning it for ~6 seconds 😭

it's basically a quick-heating ceramic hot plate on the end point

in general i don't get irritated by bites so i really only felt the quick burn, but my wife is very sensitive (hence the purchase) and she says after one usage that it doesn't seem so effective 🫠

didn't properly test it, but verdict so far:

yikes

she might want to try afterbite (make sure it's the one with ammonia and not baking soda)

i can see the device is trying to use heat to denature itchy proteins
afterbite changes the pH to denature itchy proteins (b/c pH changes the electric charge between amino acid bonds)

omg, is this neuroscience phd christin talking?

I use hot water to help with itching. This tool seems like a more targeted approach. I then cover with a baking soda paste as an anti-inflammatory.
