"As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors (and someone who got hit with Lyme disease), it's astonishing how often I forget to apply insect repellent. Just the other night, I spent the last half of a five-mile walk in a thick, annoying cloud of houseflies. Irritating, but at least they don't bite. Not like horseflies... Now those things know how to bite! I've watched them land on my sleeve and start gnawing through the fabric."
"Here's how it works. First, you download the app to your phone (both and versions are available), plug the dongle into your smartphone (there's a USB-C for Android and newer iPhones and a Lightning version for older iPhones ), use the app to heat up the end of the dongle to a maximum of 124°F/51°C, then press the end onto the bite, and wait for the timer to say the treatment has completed."
A tiny, keychain-sized dongle plugs into a smartphone (USB-C or Lightning) and pairs with an app that heats the device tip to a controlled temperature. The app offers adult, child, and sensitive-skin modes along with short, medium, and long application times and guides users through timed treatments. Targeted heat application to insect bites reduces swelling, especially when applied soon after a bite. The manufacturer reports medical proof of efficacy and states each application uses less than 0.1% of a smartphone battery, offering portable, app-controlled relief for itchy bites.
