Ouch! Not sure that would be good. I think the bite may hurt less.

I experienced Eco Click in Costa Rica (not enough to know whether it works) and it was far less discomfort than a mosquito bite. Far, far less, for a tiny fraction of a second. Totally negligible.

Heat will release histemin(sp?)Hot water ,hairdryer so hot that it makes you itch real bad for a few seconds and then you will not itch any more,sounds strange but take it from someone that takes poison ivy so bad it makes my eyes swell shut! When I get it I put the hair dryer to it and it never itchs again..I used to suffer from poison ivy for weeks at a time until I discovered heat was the cure all for all that itchs,it really works..If its just a bug bite hold a ciger close to it until you feel the histomean release(intense itch for a second or so)then it wont bother you anymore,dont burn yourself!

Wow! I have never heard of that-wish I knew about it growing up in Michigan where mosquitos are in giant swarms! Now I have another reason for my hair dryer! I will definitely try this.

That doesn't sound as bad then. Especially so quick. I may try the hair dryer first though since I'm a baby.

Great Information- Thanks!!
