Bug Bite Relief

A couple weeks ago I wrote about my kid's bad reactions to mosquito bites.  I'm still advising you that if you go out running, camping, beaching, etc wear bug repellant.  However, if you do get bitten then try out the Therapik.

I first read about it in Better Homes and Gardens, where it says that the Therapik "neutralizes itching or pain with 20-30 seconds of concentrated heat.  Increased temperature to the bite deactivates the venom...and cuts down on swelling."

Sounds like a promising alternative to anti-itch creams that seem to expire before you use even a quarter of the tube.
