‘heat it’ – Smartphone-Powered Insect Bite Relief

Looks too much like a gimmick to actually work, but someone in my family is desperate, so it’s worth a try. ‘heat it’ is a keychain widget that uses the battery of your iPhone to heat up and ‘zap’ the skin affected by the bug bite.

From their marketing language:

To relieve itch & pain, the affected skin area is briefly heated to around 124 °F. This chemical-free principle of local hyperthermia is medically confirmed.

1) Plug it into your smartphone port
2) Start the treatment and place it on the bite
3) Feel the itch relief!

These Germans are crazy.

Bonus: If you want a version of a tool like this and want it battery-powered and not relying on your iPhone, here’s one from another German brand, Beurer: the BR60 Insect Sting and Bite Relief, Bug Bite Healer (with convenient Amazon affiliate link so I earn a bundle!) Thanks Federico for sending this over and vouching for it.
