RV FEATURE
Ordinarily , I would slather on the insect repellent but , for the sake of testing this product , I forewent the Aeroguard and , within minutes , my ankles , feet and forearms had become a buffet . Red marks began to show , I began to swell and itch and , in general , I was quite miserable . However , after using The Bug Bite Thing as per the instructions on the packet , I had to admit it : this thing worked . Within minutes , the itching and swelling were subsiding , and I noticed that the bites themselves healed much more quickly than they otherwise would . I ’ m usually scratching for days after a solid mozzie bite – not any longer . The Bug Bite Thing ( RRP : $ 13.99 ) is TGA-approved and can be used again and again . It requires no creams , ointments or chemicals . However , it is recommended not to use it on children under three , or on the face or neck . If you need to reduce the size of the suction area for use on a more awkward body part , such as a finger , just flip the end cap around .
This cap does leave behind a circular mark , caused by the suction , but that disappears quite quickly . Best results will be achieved , I found , when the product is used immediately after a bite ; however , it still provided relief half an hour after being bitten , or even longer .
So often , social media offers up ‘ miracle cures ’ for common problems , usually promising a ‘ simple trick ’ to solve it . In this case , though , The Bug Bite Thing actually lives up to the hype . It will , I ’ m happy to say , become a permanent part of my travelling kit . For the sake of a few bucks , it ’ s worth it .
