Vibis Bug Bite Relief - 01 Green

I was skeptical, but figured I can return it if doesn't work. But, before I placed the order, I did some research and found that sure enough, heat in the range of about 120-125 degrees F will denature the enzymes in the saliva of a mosquito and several other insects. It's the enzymes that cause the itching. Denaturing them stops the itching, almost instantly. I had several itchy bites on my legs and arms, and right after reading the manual, plugging it in and charging for about 15 minutes until the light turned green, I then gave it my first try using the lower temp setting. There was no pain. Just a hot spot sensation for about 10 seconds or so, and the itching started to subside. I did it again three or four times on the same spot, and the itching went away entirely within another minute or so. Success! Now, try the higher temp option. Definitely more noticeable, and almost stings, but not badly, but more importantly, the itching went asway faster, and only took one or two applications, depending on how big the bite mark appeared to be. The blue lights help to see where to apply it, but it's still a bit tricky on parts of the body you can't see easily, such as the sides of my lower calves. However, the couple times I think I did miss the mark, there was no harm caused. No red mark. No burn. No pain. I am sure some people are more sensitive to heat and may get redness or even a mild 1st degree burn (like a mild sunburn) if they aren't careful. Incidentally, I have very light colored northern skin as my heritage is Northern French, German, Scandinavian, and Scottish

Best gadget ever! Mosquitos love me and before this, I couldn’t stop scratching and leaving unsightly scars on my skin - which I hated. This thing has changed my entire outlook on mosquito bites. As soon as I discover a bite, I just zap it once (or twice) and the treatment is so effective that I can forget about the bite for days! So easy! No more annoying itching and chemicals that don’t work. Just don’t overdo it because although the heat feels “safe”, this little thing WILL burn and blister your skin!

This thing WORKS! Why isn’t this more common knowledge that heat kills mosquito bites?!?! It doesn’t just temporarily take the itch away from mosquito bites, it stops the itch permanently & the bites go away way faster! I’ve used it multiple times on mosquito bites & it’s instant relief & not just on fresh bites, on bites that are a couple days old! The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is I wish the heating plate was a bit larger. It’s pretty small so sometimes it’s hard to get it lined up perfectly with the bite when you can’t see the bite that well (backs of legs & arms, etc). On some bites I have to use it a couple times, but that’s fine since it only takes a few seconds & it’s kind of addicting 😄. It does get hot & depending on how sensitive the area is you’re using it on, just when you think you might burn it shuts off automatically. If it hurts too much for those couple seconds, just take it off & then use it again on the lower setting. I’ve told all my friends & family about this thing. I’m thrilled I found it!!! It’s so small I can take it anywhere too.

As someone who has long been the filet mignon of the mosquito world, I am not just another warm body in the crowd. No, I am the caviar of Homo sapiens—a rare delicacy that mosquitoes can’t resist. For my entire time on this planet, i have had to accept the reality that, in a room of a million people, that one rogue mosquito will always find me. And only me. And I don’t just get those little bites that everyone else gets. I get mounds of swollen, red mountains when I’m bitten by a mosquito that are just as painful as they are itchy, and they take forever to heal. Enter this electronic bug bite zapper, the hero I never knew I needed. This ingenious little gadget promises to put a halt to the itching and swelling caused by my tiny winged fans by zapping away the histamine reaction. At first, I was really skeptical. Could anything really save me from being the unwitting blood bank that I’ve been for so long? Before it even arrived, I’m afraid I was already chalking it up to another futile attempt to do something about my lifelong bite problem. I’d just have to go back to ice packs and suffering. Well, let me tell you, this device is nothing short of a miracle. Gone are the days of scratching myself like a flea-ridden stray dog. With a quick zap, I can now silence my body’s overzealous reaction to mosquito bites. It's like giving a stern "talk to the hand" gesture to my body’s histamine response. The zapper is easy to use and feels like a gentle reminder to my skin that there’s no need to panic. No more sleepless nights of tossing and turning, trying to find the perfect spot on the bed where the sheets don’t rub against a fresh bite. I can finally wear shorts without looking like I’ve been caught in a hailstorm of bites. In summary, this zapper has changed my life. Oh, I still get bites, and I still wish for mosquitos to all perish from the earth after suffering a long, slow, painful death, but with this little guy in my pocket, they only itch for 10 seconds then POOF! No more itching. Also, it hurts so good, if you know what I mean. To the people who complain about it being too hot: if you can’t handle 5 seconds of heat therapy, you clearly aren’t experiencing the same reactions as me. This product is a godsend.

This thing is a LIFESAVER!! Bugs just love me even with 30% deet bug spray on, and AfterBite and other itch relief creams don't really work. This 'zaps' the bites with heat in 15 seconds and they immediately stop itching! I do usually need to re-zap each bite at some point again later when they start itching again but it gives instant relief for quite a while. It's small, portable, rechargeable and took it on a trip to central america - we all had a ton of bites and used it non stop. I would have legit cried if I lost it. ***It does get quite hot during the zap but it's worth it for the itch relief**

It definitely works and takes the itch out of a sting within a minute, you may need to do it twice for very itchy bites however it works a treat

It works but I didn’t realise it literally burns the saliva out. Takes a moment to get used to but being burned for 2 seconds is way better then being itchy for hours Also in case anyone was wondering it doesn’t leave burns, or at least not that I’ve noticed. Also lavender deters mozzies

I was very skeptical of this, to be honest. It sounded like snake oil. After Bite never worked for me, and I suffer from skeeter syndrome so I'm definitely on the lookout for something that would lessen the swelling. Tried this, as the bugs are bad as heck. Got hit, and started to swell within a minute. Grabbed this, applied it on low twice, then 3 times on high. There is some pain as the heat can be pretty intense. The bite did swell up but it was slow in comparison to not using this. Within 2 hours, the swelling had gone down immensely. For reference, each bite I get normally swells to the size of a toonie within an hour and can get much bigger and taller by the next day. The first bites I had this year without this treatment, blistered and were very bad. I'm also not one that scratches any bites. I've used this about 7 times since, and each one has had the same result. The key (for me anyway) is to treat it as soon as possible.

It does take away your bites
